Salisbury native Tifini Simpson Long has organized a peaceful march following the increasing news of violence and crime in her hometown.

The march is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 13 and will begin at 6 p.m. at the former Frito Lay plant, 900 N. Long St., and will end at the Development Center at 729 N. Long St. A short program will follow the march at 7 p.m. at the Development Center.

Long, who now lives in Winston-Salem, has family who still live in Salisbury, including nieces and nephews. She wants to expressly reach out to the youth. She said what’s going on in society is an issue that impacts all families, “because this is our generation.”
