This situation puts a black eye on everything we as apeople have accomplished in this nation…everything.” The organization plansto have events in various cities. When onelooks at the situation from the perspective that more African American malesare murdered in one year here at home than the total casualty rate of soldiersin Iraq and Afghanistan then one can truly see how dire a situation we trulyhave on our hands. Our aim is to raise awareness of this epidemic and the goal ofA Day Without Tears is to have one day where there is no African American,male homicide at the hands of another African American male reported in thiscountry.” Bolding went on to say, “The statistics do not really give anaccurate depiction to the severity of this situation in this country. We fully understand that a perfect storm ofpoverty, access to handguns and crime greatly contribute to this situation butwe also understand that at the moment of truth there is an African-Americanman with the blood of Cain on his hands standing over a lifeless AfricanAmerican body. Homicide is the leading cause of death of African Americanmen between the ages of 15 to 34.

According to theorganization’s founder Mark Bolding, “Each day over 15 African American mendie at the hands of other African American men in this, the most civilizednation in world. The national eventis scheduled to run simultaneously with the U.N sponsored International Dayof Peace. The event is in observance of and to raise awareness to the alarmingnumber of African American male homicides in this country.
