More than 300 people participated in a march for peace led by AM 1490 radio host Basheer Jones on Cleveland's East Side. Afterwards, community members organized a town hall meeting at Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center where committees were formed to help improve the well-being of the city.
Kent State sophomore aeronautics major Andre Moss attended the event in remembrance of his older brother Kevin, who was shot and killed during a robbery gone bad in 2004.
Moss and his brother grew up together in Cleveland Heights, but Moss said Kevin moved to St. Clair Avenue and got involved with what he described as the "wrong crowd."
Moss said he felt compelled to get involved in the rally and hear local activists speak about ways in making the streets safer.
"I always wondered what it'd be like to be in a march," Moss said. "It just makes you inspired to do positive things."
