“The spirit doesn’t die because if it had I don’t think we would all be here,” said Pendleton’s mom Cleopatra Cowley.
Friday is Wear Orange Day, which supports "National Gun Violence Awareness Day," which started after the senseless death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton in 2013.
A large group met Friday afternoon outside Michele Clark High School, all wearing orange and raising their voices against gun violence. Mayor Brandon Johnson also spoke about living in the Austin neighborhood and what Wear Orange Day means to him."Here's what I'm encouraged by that the pain and the suffering that our communities have experienced over the course of decades of disinvestment, we're not allowing that to stop us from bringing people together to bring about the investment so that we can finally put an end to this violence," said Johnson.
