Event

Northern Virginia Fairfax Families for Safe Streets (NoVA FSS) cordially invites you to attend and support our upcoming World Day of Remembrance (WDoR) for Road Traffic Victims.

World Day of Remembrance is an annual event where we honor those whose lives were prematurely ended after being struck by a person driving. This year is particularly painful and sad as we think about the recent death of a 13-year-old Frost middle school student who was struck and killed by a person driving a truck on Pickett Road. We will also honor the nearly 30 other people (as of today’s date) who have been killed on Northern Virginia streets while, walking, biking, or rolling since last year’s day of remembrance.

An event tomorrow (Thursday) will honor Benjamin Thomas and reflect on his lynching in Alexandria 125 years ago. This year, the event will also highlight the aftermath of the lynching in Alexandria.

The event is being held at 6:30 p.m. at Shiloh Baptist Worship Center (1401 Jamieson Avenue) though a release from the City of Alexandria notes that it will be a secular event. 125 years ago, the church was the site of meeting after Thompson’s murder to both honor his memory and protest against the lynching.
