“This will be a commemoration and demonstration event to keep his name and story alive,” an organizer wrote on a Facebook event post for the commemoration.
Dayton Young Black Professionals will also be hosting their “Annual Community Give Back Day” prior to the start of the school year in memory of Crawford.
“On this day we will remember this tragic event honoring his memory through a community giveaway of school uniforms, supplies and snacks for summer and afterschool programs for up to 100 elementary students,” said an event organizer.
