Gun Violence Awareness Day Vigil at City Hall (Columbus). We are partnering with the City of Columbus Office of Violence Prevention to honor lives lost. Please remember to wear orange 🧡—it is Mrs. T’s favorite color and the official color for Gun Violence Awareness Day! ✨

✊🏾 Did you know that the very first Memorial Day was actually organized by newly freed Black Americans? 🧠

On May 1, 1865, in Charleston, South Carolina, thousands of formerly enslaved people and Black Union regiments came together to honor fallen soldiers who had fought for freedom. They cleaned up a devastating mass grave site, gave the soldiers a proper, dignified burial, and covered the ground in flowers.

Our resilience, our community, and our ability to build a brighter future for our youth are deeply rooted in this rich history. As Marcus Garvey said, “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” 🌳✨

That is why this Truth Tuesday, The All Purpose Center family is hitting the reset button, embracing new beginnings, and staying completely locked into our mission to building that spark in our youth:

☀️ 𝗚𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 (June 1st – July 31st) — featuring business exploration, team-building scavenger hunts, and Buckeye Self-Defense!
