Duncan Park in downtown Lexington will be the site of a peace walk Saturday afternoon. It will be the ninth such event as part of the Antonio Franklin Violence Intervention effort. The 21-year-old Lexington man, a bystander, was fatally shot in 2014 in the park. Franklin’s brother Ricardo continues to carry the torch for the peace walk, originally organized by his mother Anita, who passed away in 2020.
“No matter what their background was, no matter what they had done in the past, she loved people. And she forgave people. So I kind of take some of that into consideration when I’m doing things. To love, to forgive, and to keep moving forward,” said Franklin.
