Assembled under gray skies for a march from the library to the courthouse downtown, the crowd responded enthusiastically to speakers lamenting gun violence and urging gun reform laws.
Nina Turner, a candidate to replace U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge in the 11th Congressional District, told the crowd that the time for action on gun reform is now.
“Gun violence is a scourge on the United States of America, and we all need to do something about it,” Turner said.

Myers School of Art alumna Shani Richards is featured in ‘Suffrage: Inequality. Persistence. Justice.’, the Emily Davis Gallery’s Latest Exhibition that seeks to honor women involved in the suffragette movement.
The exhibit opened on Oct. 20 and will be available to the public until mid-December.
“I create art that addresses issues of racism, sexism and stereotypes,” said Richards. “These issues are all reflection of this country and my work is all American.”
