“Stop The Violence” Conference and March in Rochester

A march from Dr. Martin Luther King Park to Rochester City Hall and back highlighted a “Stop the Violence” conference on Saturday in Rochester.

At city hall, about a hundred young adults, parents and teens took an oath to stop violence in Rochester.

Saturday’s conference was already scheduled, but it follows the murder of a Rochester man on Otis Street on Friday. It was sponsored by the Rochester Educational Opportunity Center and Operation Transform.

Half-a-dozen workshops dealt with heading off violent acts and dealing with anger.
