Khalid Samad, a seventy-three-year-old anti-violence activist and co-founder of Peace in the Hood, passed away. He dedicated his life to mediating disputes and guiding young people away from gangs and crime in Clevelands toughest neighborhoods. Samads efforts, which began in the late eighties, included running summer camps and rites-of-passage programs. His influence extended nationally, as he joined peace summits, testified before Congress, and held roles like gang specialist for Cleveland schools. Samad was remembered as a transformational leader who focused on mentoring African American youth through art and life skills. His legacy lives on through countless mentees and safer communities.
