4/16/16 Baltimoreans Want Peace and Justice

On a windy beautiful spring day, people gathered in Baltimore on the same corner where Freddie Gray was arrested.  Church chaplains and police chaplains mingled before the rally and were a prominent presence in the rally to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Freddie Gray.   It was the same placewhere people rose up a year ago to protest racism in the criminal justice system.
