COMMUNITY LEADERS DISCUSS VIOLENCE PREVENTION
To get a handle on the increasing acts of violence that’s taking place in Chicago neighborhoods, Congressman Danny Davis recently spearheaded a Violence Prevention Summit at the Greater St. John Bible Church, 1256 N. Waller. “There will be a continuation of effort (to end gun violence). Many people are already connected here; so what we want to do is to coordinate the activities in which different people are engaged, so that we will become more of a collective as opposed to the individual activities in which we are involved,” Congressman Davis said.
