April 27th Last year on this day, the residents of Baltimore City were in an outrage after the funeral services for 25-year-old Freddie Gray. His death occurred after an arrest and injuries to his spinal cord. His arrest by the Baltimore City Police Department and his subsequent death left the city’s residents saddened and frustrated leading to the worst riots our city had ever seen. Many businesses were destroyed, both small and large, including a church’s community center.
