Cybelle McDaniels grew up in a close-knit family in the Mount Vernon Square neighborhood of DC. Here she talks about the neighborhood she knew, which was where her youngest brother, Moriba Salim Hylton, was shot and killed just weeks before.
Felix Oschukwu, Salim's friend and a fellow artist, talks about how art can change people's lives, and how he uses art to express his feelings about gun violence in DC.
D.C. is obviously the political battleground for gun control issues. The District is a hub for policymakers, lobbyists and officials with the power to make changes in our nation’s gun laws. It is also a glaring example of racial segregation and economic inequality.
