First Friday Walk for Justice and Peace
June 3, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Friday, June 3, 5:30–6:00 p.m. (rain or shine)
Start: The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew (SsAM), 719 N. Shipley Street
End: Rodney Square
Join us in this series of peaceful walks through the center of Wilmington to promote an end to racial and social injustice. We gather in the SsAM parking lot with people of various faiths to share in this active commitment to justice and peace in our community. We walk in silence, carrying battery-powered candles. Wilmington staff support this walk by holding traffic at cross streets. It is a very moving experience! Following the walk, visit the Chris White Gallery, a two-level exhibition space at Shipley Artist Lofts (701 N. Shipley Street). The Gallery serves the greater Wilmington community as a place for contemporary art. The closing reception on Friday, June 3, is part of the Wilmington Art Loop and features refreshments and music.
