Stop the Violence Summit held recently

Peace for Change Alliance and Urban Grass Roots Inc.’s held a “Stop the Violence” Summit called “Bridging the Gap” at the Martin Luther King Community Center, 1531 W. Vliet St. The goal of the summit was for youth and adults to start communicating and work on a solution for the violence that is crippling our community. A diverse group of leaders and youth met to develop strategies to break the ‘code of silence’ and reduce the acceptance of youth violence that pervades the youth culture. (Photo by Yvonne Kemp)
