A year and a half ago I was driving home late at night and had to take a detour because of an incident on American and Cecil B. Moore. I never knew exactly what happened. Over the next few weeks, I decided that it must have been a high school male that had died. For months there were people on the corner almost around the clock praying. There was a sea of objects and graffiti that seemed to eventually cause a conflict with the nearby businesses and eventually it dwindled to nothing, but it took nearly a year. Today, so long after, four memorials were set up, with very direct messages. One that I didn't show in picture form says "Why does peace call and violence pull?" I don't know if it is disrespectful to post this, I hope that it isn't.
