Following a night of mayhem, several volunteers have come together to show the true meaning of community spirit, with brooms, buckets and trash bags in hand. While the world certainly saw an ugly side of Ferguson, Missouri, Monday night, some residents are attempting to send a clear message to those still watching. They are volunteering their time – and perhaps channeling frustrations and anger – into something positive by helping with cleanup efforts in the city.
