North Texas community organizations came together Thursday to show solidarity against violence following the shooting death of Lancaster youth football coach Michael Hickmon.
"How do we make good on such a horrible situation?” asked Dr. Keisha Lankford with Lankford Avenue Services. “We all need to look in the mirror and ask, 'what do we need to do? What can I do?' We cannot pass blame. We cannot look to people outside our community. We have to look within."
Members of Urban Specialists, several other community organizations and coaches all came together to show solidarity against violence. "I'm here just to show unity,” said Terry"Coach X" Mayo, founder of The Action Network. “That's what it is. Everyone has on different logos. It doesn't matter what's on your jersey. We're all the same team."Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
