Just after 10 Saturday morning, dozens gathered near E.152nd and St. Clair in Collinwood, rocking bright orange t-shirts, some with a message and some with a photo of a loved one, gone too soon from gun violence.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -
Wear Orange Weekend is June 2-4. The color has become the defining color of a gun violence prevention movement. “We’re doing it here because this is the street where my son’s life was taken and the owner of the store has just been phenomenal,” Bell said. “He lets us come here each year, gather in his parking lot, doesn’t charge us anything. Whenever I come over here, he always makes me cry because he really loved my son. He has my son’s picture up inside and he says this is Dre’s store, whatever you need,” said Bell.
