Remembering Lenny Harris

More than 100 friends and family of the late Lenny Harris gathered at the corner of Braddock Park on Saturday afternoon, June 28, to witness the dedication of the playing fields in memory of the city activist. Harris founded Operation Hope, a community-based organization that sponsored programs and activities for underserved area youth. Harris also founded the “One Love Festival.” Harris was murdered during a robbery gone wrong in September 2011 in Prince Georges County.
