Honoring gun violence victims in basketball tournament



Unity and Peace: the names of the two teams playing at Friday night’s Bigger than Basketball tournament, and the goal of the Violence Crime Reduction Initiative in Racine County.

The event was put on in honor of National Crime Victim’s Rights Week. Naykeda Haymer is the president of Racine’s chapter of Voices of Black Mother’s United (VBMU), who put on the event.

She says events like this aim to create communities with less violence and more collaboration.

“We are coming together with law enforcement, local community leaders, also victims and survivors through a game of basketball,” said Haymer.

  1. I don't feel bad. Voices are the bullets as well as others talking. Actions without speaking literally are the literal weapon to guns
