Mother’s Day March

Manhattan, NYC, originally uploaded by Barrybar.

On Sunday, Mother’s Day 2008, women will be gathering at the foot of Mother Tubman’s statue. We will walk from there to Mother Hale’s House. This will be a Walk of Remembrance for our community in Harlem to recognize the greatness of our women. We will also be remembering those Mother’s who do not have their children with them due to violence, particuarly Sean Bell’s mother, Malcolm Ferguson’s mother and Cory Meekin’s mother.

We invite all to join in our walk as we push for reform of policing policies in our communities, in our schools and in our nation. Mrs. Bell requests that we do not go out to eat but rather cook a dinner for Mother and spend it as a family, at home.

Tubman Statue: 122nd St., St. Nicholas Ave, and Frederick Douglass Blvd.
