“Wearing purple Friday is a way for our community to remember and honor those killed through domestic violence, and it's an affirmative show of support of those who live through it every day,” Smith said.
The effort is being undertaken by a coalition of groups including the Cleveland County Response Team, Norman Justice Alliance and the Women's Resource Center.
Organizers will have an awareness information booth downtown during the art walk.Read more: http://newsok.com/norman-art-walk-to-honor-victims-of-domestic-violence/article/3717678#ixzz293vcrkzJ
