This week marks the fourth anniversary of the murder of UNC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s beloved student body president, cut down before her time by two teens from Durham. Though I never met Eve, I am forever changed because of her. Her death and how it happened demanded a response. Along with colleagues from N.C. Central University, and with encouragement and inspiration from folks at the UNC Center for Public Service, two years ago we launched the Northeast Central Durham Community VOICE (durhamvoice.org), a community newspaper that aims to get teens off the streets and into a creative, nurturing and mentoring newsroom \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a place where a kid can get a sense of accomplishment and positive life vision while picking up valuable professional skills. Last week, while wandering through \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the Arb,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I made a point of stopping by Eve\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s memorial, as I often do, but this time I was surprised and then moved to see how someone had carefully arranged fresh Camilla blossoms on her marker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
