'We're doing this in solidarity for Seandell but also for the many young men and women who have lost their lives to senseless gun violence here in the city of Chicago.'
Young men marched toward a better future in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood on the South Side."It occupies their time and opens up their mind to something that can actually take them somewhere else besides the negative," said Pierre Dean who grew up on the West Side.
The hope is to bring young people together, connect them to resources and help prevent crime in the community. The march kicks off the summer with some hope for the city's youth and it means a little more this time around after the group lost one of their own to gun violence last year.Jermaine Anderson is the executive director of "I Am a Gentleman."
