's8220;The event was initiated almost two decades ago as I sat in Martin Luther King Park with my then young children watching a basketball game,'s8221; says rally founder Anita Jones-Williams. 's8220;The park was full of people, some watching the game, some passing through, and some just idly standing by. As I sat there, I thought, 's8216;how wonderful it would be to have activities in the park that actually addressed the woes of neighborhoods and communities.'s8217; Since the rally is held during back-to-school shopping time, there are free food and clothing giveaways. Women head-up approximately sixty percent of the families in the area, and some of these women are jobless. So we offer job information at the rally. In addition, there is a health fair offering various screenings.'s8221;
