The crowd started to gather on Fountain Square in Cincinnati
Ohio we have come together to Show our support for the people of
Darfur.
One of our local celebrities Nick Clooney is speaking today about
his trip to Darfur with his son George. Not only are they speaking
here but they have also spoke at the UN on the devastation that
they have witnessed first hand. Mr. Clooney informed the crowed
that every 4 1/2 minutes someone dies in Darfur.
During the event people were asked to come up and say who they
were and who they were representing I am prod to say that this is
my sister Katheryn Jones representing Katrina, Vanessa, and Andre
along with Sands Montessori School.
Cincinnati's mayor Mark Mallory spoke as well today and was
leaving right before the march down to the Freedom Center down on
the river. John Toren managed to get Mark's attention and talk to
him about getting on board with the Mayors for Peace campaign. The
mayor asked him to send him the information and he would look at
it. We'll keep you posted.
We finished this event by marching down to the Freedom Center.
Also known as the Underground Railroad Museum. The weather was
perfect and sunny but there was also a shadow of the images of
men, women and children being murdered, raped, and starving to
death. The thought of in the time we spent together here 15 more
people died. Something must be done we need to do all we can to
help and now.
