A remembrance ceremony was hosted today to honor the late Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Lima residents will gather March 1 at Providence Missionary Baptist Church to honor the life, civil rights legacy and local impact of the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
The Reverend Jesse Jackson, the famed civil rights leader who marched alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and later ran for president, passed away at the age of 84.
A crowd gathered in the square in downtown Lima for the “Rally 4 Change.” Organizers of the event invited those who have been affected by what they say is a pattern of injustice in the city.
A peaceful protest moved through downtown Lima today to fight against police brutality.
Curtis Shannon Jr., an 18-year-old from Lima organized the protest today for not only justice for George Floyd who was murdered by a police officer just days ago in Minneapolis, but also for justice for those in Lima who have been victims of police brutality.
