MEMPHIS, Tenn. — An event to keep kids out of trouble was in full swing Friday night all across Memphis.
It’s called “Safe Summer”, an initiative put together by several groups, including non-profit Memphis Gunned Down. The goal is to keep community centers open late on Friday nights to give children fun, safe and positive things to do. 
Nina Allen-Johnson is with Memphis Gunned Down. 
“We have art, entertainment. We have Zumba. We feed them. They have bounce houses,” she said.
The event, which started in 2012, is held every Friday night in July at seven community centers across the city, including the Orange Mound Community Center on Park Avenue, where ninth grader Nehemiah Mason was hanging out Friday.
