‘I’ve lost so many people I know and I love.’ Conflict resolution coming to Miami schools David Goodhue, Miami Herald
Romania Dukes’ son De’Michael was just 18 when he was shot dead by a stray bullet while standing in the stairwell of Cutler Manor Apartments on July 21, 2014.
Soon after, Dukes founded Mothers Fighting for Justice, a nonprofit that supports survivors of gun-violence victims in South Florida.
She was among almost a dozen speakers who spoke at Wednesday’s Miami-Dade County School Board meeting to support an initiative the board unanimously approved to introduce conflict resolution programs into the curriculum starting in kindergarten on through the 12th grade.
