2ds agoA Park Slope community left in mourning now has a new place to remember and honor their loved ones who died due to crime-related incidents.
Families gathered at the Wyckoff Gardens Houses for the unveiling of a new mural that is dedicated to shining a light and giving those missing their loved ones a place to laugh, cry, pray and come together. The mural was made by Traci Mallor, Karen Oh, and Mayele Alogon.
"I can't duck this no more. Before I used to stay in the house, being couped up," said Steven Spain, father of Samyia Spain, who was stabbed alongside her twin sister and died in March. "Every one of these people that's painted on this floor, is loved. These people surrounding me everyday gonna keep me going."
The loved ones of the late Samyia Spain will share the mural space with the many others in their communities who were forced to say good bye to their loved ones who were lost too soon.
