NEW ORLEANS -- As promised, New Orleans Saints cornerback and West Bank native Keenan Lewis turned his passion into action Saturday, hosting a free “peace camp and rally” for kids in New Orleans' City Park.
“I’m from here, born and raised. This is my pride and joy,” said Lewis, who has been preaching the need to stop the violence in his hometown since well before his former teammate Will Smith was shot and killed in the city last Saturday night.
Lewis has challenged others from the New Orleans community to reach out directly to the youth and show them there are other paths that don’t lead to violence.
