The Memorial vigil is in memory of Antiviolence Activist Joy Powell's son David Wright, who was shot on Fulton ave 8/13/ 01 and he died 08/14/05.
This memorial will be shared with other mothers who kids have been murdered, in remembrance of them also and families.
This Neighborhood is called red because, of the violence we were told by the RPD but, proud to say since David wrights Murder, "Fulton Ave "not only looks totally different", it is totally different says that Community, who once was terrified to even walk past the drug houses that no longer exist, where old ones were torn down, and new ones have been built.
This Unified effort Tomorrow will be to established bounds with hurting families and to warn People that, violence not only hurts the victims, it destroys people personal lives on both ends as well as the Community's.
We will meet at the corner of Glenwood Ave and Fulton Ave ending on Fulton and Clarence where David was gunned down by Andre Parsons who is serving life, with a prayer vigil and a few victims speaking out against violence.
This is the kick off to 8/27/05 non violent event in the neighbor labeled as red.
