Local leaders rallied for peace at Moody Park on Milwaukee's north side.
"The name of this neighborhood is the Amani neighborhood which symbolizes peace. The objective of Heal the Hood Movement is to have just that."
There was no charge to attend "Heal The Hood." It was a kind of moving block party. Families enjoyed the sunshine and mingled with their neighbors.

The fun continues on Saturday from noon until 6 p.m. at 23rd and Burleigh.
