BY CHRIS KERR | May 1, 2015

Freddie Gray’s death on April 19 left the Baltimore community with many questions to be solved and issues to resolve. Prayers, protests, vigils, and even violence have filled the city over the past few days. In the midst of it all, a group of Loyola University Maryland students joined together to make a statement about a dream. The following video shares their dream of “standing in solidarity with their city, to rise up against injustice and make for a better tomorrow.”
