Rallying for Peace in Fort Worth: African Americans Unite to Stop Youth Violence
On the day when Famous Eugene
Lockhart died from gunshot wounds, he had no idea that the tragedy of his
killing would be the spark for Black unity and an outcry from African
Americans in Fort Worth to stop youth violence and Black-on-Black crime.
“You can tell the future of any nation by the activity of the young people
and when you look at our young folk, ours don’t look too pretty,” P.E.A.C.E.
(positive, eager young adults coming together to excel), president and
CEO Roy Muhammad said at a recent sit-down meeting and community speaks
out. |

RESPECT once denied to ancestors, finally restored
Saturday, seniors from
Wheatley High School experience history firsthand. The evidence of this
country’s disregard for Africans enslaved in America was right down the
street from Wheatley High, laying under overgrown weeds and shrubbery,
abandoned and neglected. “Weeds were as tall as the buildings around it,
and there was trash everywhere,” said Charles Williams, project manager
for Fifth Ward Enrichment. “It was just a wooded area. Had not the
teacher walked me through the jungle, I wouldn’t have known it was a
cemetery.”
