On Martin Luther King Day, Philadelphia Student Union led a march down Broad Street from School District headquarters, with a crowd of several hundred calling for an end to school violence. At a rally at Arch Street Methodist Church, youth and adult leaders offered ideas for achieving a more peaceful and just school system. Students announced a citywide antiviolence campaign, including a student pledge of nonviolence.
