They Stood for Us

Heal the City, in collaboration with the families of Trenton activists, Darlene McKnight and Grace Crossland will hold a community billboard ceremony that will celebrate these two local leaders. Although they have both passed on, they have left Trenton with a legacy of service and responsibility. The ceremony will begin at The Serenity Garden, which is located at the corner of Bellevue Avenue and Prospect Street. There will be a brief celebration of their lives that will include a libation ceremony and celebration drumming, then the group will march down Stuyvesant Avenue and Prospect Street where their two commemorative billboards will be displayed. This is a unique way for the community to show their love and respect to two deserving Trenton icons. The event is open to the public.
