Remembering Terrell and Tariq

Article Abstract:

In a heart rending tale that will definitely strike a chord in the hearts of many, the father of a murdered peace activist in Watts, California has decided to forgive his son's killers apparently due to gangland rivalry. In another case, the brother of an immigrant who was killed along with the grandfather of the killer have decided to start a foundation that preaches non-violence and peaceful problem solving in schools rocking with inter-gang rivalries.
