Sharpton delivered the eulogy at Brown's funeral and later joined Brown's family at news conferences in Ferguson, Atlanta and Washington.

Details of Sharpton's four-day visit have not yet been announced. He's expected to arrive Oct. 31 and remain through Nov. 3, one day before the general election.

A grand jury review of whether Ferguson officer Darren Wilson used excessive force in shooting Brown to death is expected to be complete by mid-November.
