Remberance Weekend.

Mayor Brown announces the schedule of remeberance for the "5/14 Remembrance Weekend: Reflection, Healthing & Hope."

The remembrance events include a panel discussion focused on combating white supremacy and social media radicalization, and an Educational Day of Healing & Restoration hosted by Buffalo Public Schools and Buffalo Toronto Public Media. There will also be a community gathering focused on reflection, healing and hope, a remembrance service at Tops on Jefferson Avenue followed by a church service featuring Pastor Jamal Harrison Bryant from the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta Georgia.

In addition, a reflective light display will shine on the columns of Buffalo City Hall from dawn to dusk throughout the weekend of May 12th, as part of a special tribute to the ten lives taken. Their families chose the color that best represented their loved ones. (See full detalis here).
