Samaria Rice

Mayor Dan Horrigan signed an executive order lifting the curfew on Sunday; Family of Tamir Rice unveiled a memorial at the site of the 12-year-old's fatal police shooting; and more stories.

Despite a call from Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan to pause protests for 48 hours, demonstrators gathered near police headquarters downtown.

Five years after the death of Tamir Rice, his family is partnering with the Cleveland Foundation to create a fund for arts and community projects. The Tamir Rice Legacy Fund aims to connect youth with outlets for self-expression. Samaria Rice created the fund in honor of her son’s love of art and says she hopes it will keep his memory alive.

Five years ago, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was shot and killed in a public park by a Cleveland police officer. The incident quickly became a rallying point for a growing national conversation about violence against black people at the hands of the police, and Rice continues to be a source of inspiration for artists.
