– The misery and hope of the city of Baltimore are on display at the corner where 40-year old, Levar Bailey was shot dead.
“Bestow your healing touch upon this city,” the crowd of about 100 said in unison, praying in front of a park near where Bailey was murdered in November 2017. Most of the marchers — a mix of black and white faces — wear blue T-shirts with the logo of the Presbyterian Church USA.The activists continue their “peace walk”, past a man lying motionless on the sidewalk across from buildings with a sign up outside them that says: “Now leasing: 1-2-3 bedroom apartments.”
“This may be a small step, but it’s a positive step,” Keith Paige, pastor of Baltimore’s Cherry Hill Community Presbyterian Church, told AFP, sweat glistening on his forehead in the humid evening air. The prayer group continued their walk around the city center, past a theater advertising “Cats” and “Miss Saigon,” until they met Phyllis Felton, pastor of Baltimore’s Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, waiting for them in a park.“God, I’m sick of praying after gun violence. I’m sick of praying for this won’t happen again. But I know it will,” Felton told the marchers, who held up signs saying: “Nobody kill anybody. Baltimore Ceasefire.
