WEST PHILADELPHIA - A plea for peace was held in a West Philly neighborhood just blocks away from where a 16-year-old was shot to death and an 18-year who survived earlier this week.
It’s the latest in a wave of violence in that community. Members and volunteers of the community group The Black Corner which stands for "Building Love and Creating Knowledge" are asking residents to honk for life. "Let them know you're important.
Your life is important," said Lady Quotable. She’s the founder of the group and asked everyone to bring white balloons which she says represent life. "We want to appreciate life while we have it," she says.
