For this program we have chosen an aspect of gun violence—the aftermath—to make more real and more personal than any alarming statistic can, a story about this uniquely American dilemma.

Rose Smith’s son, Cory Crowe, was gunned down in October 2014.

Across the years since Rose Smith has evolved into a vigorous anti-violence activist and is a leader in the Moms Demand Action movement.

In honor of Cory, she has established the ACE Project, a community center in west Louisville where she wants other children to find a path more promising than the one which led to her son’s death.

Rose Smith will be joined by Barbara Boyd, a member of the TTL team representing the Sowers of Justice Network. Barbara’s grandson, Austin Goodlett, has recently been grievously wounded and disabled by gunfire. 

Barbara Boyd is a teacher (Rank I) retired from JCPS, a former chair of the KY Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression and the president of the Louisville branch of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH).
