Day of Peace is a community wide effort to promote peace making and reduce violence in families, neighborhoods and schools in Northern Kentucky. Violence is a community problem that requires a community response…join us as we discuss how it affects each of us and how we can make a difference.
Debra Dixon from Channel 12 WKRC Crimestoppers, will serve as program moderator again this year. Speakers will share their personal experiences of the effects of domestic violence. Debra Culberson, mother of Carrie Culberson, the young woman whose boyfriend has now been convicted of her 1996 murder, will share her courageous journey. Dr. Willie Elliott, a professor at Northern Kentucky University, will share his message regarding men and their role in the fight against domestic violence. Sgt. Nikki Henderson, a retired Louisville Police Officer, will address elder abuse. Gil Esparza, a leader in the Hispanic community, will express his personal tragedy of his sister’s violent death due to stalking.
Those attending will have the opportunity to make a statement by inscribing a message of peace on the 2004 “Unite Against Violence” display.
Refreshments provided.
