Anthony “AT” Easley, one of the organizers of the concert says “Violence has no age, race, sex or economic status every community is affected in some way.  Instead of trying to ignore it many want to be a part of the positive solution and not the problem.  We need to learn to work together and become good role models for our youth”.
