CBS premieres 13 Days in Ferguson, a special about the aftermath of a police shooting of a young Black man in 2014, on Friday, August 9. The special features Cedric the Entertainer, who grew up next to Ferguson, reuniting with his longtime friend and retired lead task force officer, Capt. Ron Johnson, for what CBS calls “an emotional journey, walking the streets of Ferguson in remembrance of the shocking events that took place there a decade ago.”
“The story of Ferguson is the story of America,” Cedric said. “It’s important to tell this story now with my friend Ron Johnson because, with the benefit of 10 years, we can see the lessons learned, the progress made and the road ahead with more clarity. This is Ron’s elegy.”
