Business Owner and Unity in the Community Event Organizer, Fletcher” Big Show” Collins announced his plans of a” Stop The Violence Movement” in May. He stated there is a real pandemic black on black killings and shootings. On Saturday afternoon Collins lead an event with a march and ended it with prayer and discussions at a local park.
The event started with a march from Martin Luther King Drive, went down Della Street, and ended at Greene Acres Park in Elizabethtown. Pastors said prayers during the event, and community members were encouraged to discuss the issues.

Food and water were also available during the gathering. Collins stated he hopes to reach people and help them understand that we have to work together and figure out what we need to do to stop the violence and help our community be a better place.
He hopes the prayer meeting will lead to a round table discussion with leaders and community members. Pastors, ministers, doctors, citizens, and, most of all, the ones dealing with violence are all invited to attend.
Elizabethtown Police Department and Bladen County Sheriff’s Office were also on the scene to promote unity and peace.
