A mum who has campaigned for racial harmony in the name of her son is among many Merseyside names to be recognised in the New Year's Honours list.
Gee Walker has devoted her life to promoting racial harmony and building a legacy of love to overcome hate, after she forgave her son’s killers. Anthony Walker's brutal and racist murder in 2005 shocked the nation.
The 18-year-old aspiring lawyer was chased from a bus stop in Huyton and killed with an ice pick in an unprovoked attack. His mum Gee refused to let her life, and Anthony’s memory, be consumed by bitterness and bravely chose to forgive his killers.
