With chants of “Kids are our future, let them live,” some 35 people marched on Gainesville streets Sunday afternoon to protest violence that’s rocking communities. “We need to stop the violence, stop it with the kids,” said Kwesi Dowell, nodding toward a group of nearby youngsters holding signs with such messages as “Let us grow” and “Peace on the streets.” Another marcher referred to a string of recent violence, including the September shooting death of Terry Jerome Maddox, 30, of Gainesville.
