Please come to the memorial honoring Bennie Hargrove on what would have been his 16th birthday. Washington Middle School Park, where Bennie was shot as he tried to resolve a dispute, will be named after him.
The Community is invited to remember Bennie’s kindness, and his efforts to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr in trying to address controversy without violence.
