Berkeley is mourning the loss this week of 78-year-old Benton "Ben" Brown, an activist and art lover who was a familiar face for over a decade at Berkeley Hort.

Brown died last week when a driver struck him at Rose and Josephine streets as he walked home from a soccer match at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School.

Our latest deep dive honors Ben Brown.
