No monument can ever reflect the true essence of pain a parent feels in a senseless death of their child. Violence in our communities reminds us that the actions of youth today, shape our destiny". The ''National Black Children's Memorial Wall of Remembrance'' is a Collective for the tens of thousands of inner-city children who have been murdered by senseless acts of violence.

''THERE WAS A CHILD, THAT BREATHES NO MORE."

"Therefore, WE, the witnesses of these tragedies, devoted parents and friends, wish to make sure that this National Black Children's Memorial Wall of Remembrance stands as a silent but loud symbol

We are asking Maya Angelou to write a poem, Spike Lee to do a documentary, John Legend to sing a song, Jennifer Hudson to lift her voice as a spokesperson, and YOU to help stop the violence.
