Several city and state dignitaries were among the group, including State Representative Jason Fields, Alderman and Common Council President Willie L. Hines, Jr., Dr. Howard Fuller  (former MPS superintendent), Captain James Harpool, head of the MPD Third District Police Station, and a representative from Congresswoman Gwen Moore’s office.

breakfast at Bethany, Milwaukee
It is evident that there are many, many people who are looking for answers to the unrest in the city and fervently hope for a peaceful summer in Milwaukee. Let us all pray that efforts like this one, led by Rev. Chris Ikanih and others, will lead Milwaukee families to find the peace and the hope that they are looking for at the foot of the cross through the Word of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Rev. Chris Ikanih and Rev. Richard Boeck led the group in singing during the prayer for peace in the city of Milwaukee.
