MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Macon community activists gathered in Rosa Parks Square overnight to honor those killed this year. Organizers of the event called each homicide victim more than just a number.
“Unfortunately it’s more than just 50 people being buried, but it’s 50 plus people who now have sons and daughters going to prison, and there’s hundreds more whose families are being torn to shreds,” said Christoper Berry.
As the Christmas lights lit downtown Macon Sunday evening, so did 50 luminaries. Each luminary honored someone who lost their life to an act of violence.
