Here are select photos from two observances: one in Clearing and one in West Lawn.
The event in Clearing was sponsored by the Clearing Night Force neighborhood watch group and began with a prayer vigil at 62nd and Melvina, at a memorial to two local girls killed in a gang-related shooting in 1995.
The district-wide observance at West Lawn Park is one of the most popular in the city. Hundreds of men, women and children take part each year at the festival-like event, which includes food, music, prize drawings and more.
Both events are focused on citizens re-dedicating themselves to working together to fight crime and building a safer and better community.
