Louis' Story

Louis D. Brown was a 15-year-old sophomore in the

fall of 1993. Louis looked forward to college and was
planning to pursue a PhD. He was an avid reader and
interested in engineering. Louis often mentioned to
his family and friends his long-term goal of becoming
the first Black president of the United States and his
commitment to making his community a more
peaceful and just place.
Alongside his peers, Louis worked to challenge
the negative stereotypes about youth in his
neighborhood. He was deeply concerned with
the ongoing violence he and his peers were
experiencing. Louis couldn’t understand why
adults were always blaming young people when
bad things happen and only took the credit when
good things happened. He feared that by the
time he made it to the White House, he would be
running this country with the same old blood.
And it was his belief that “if true peace is to
happen, it would be up to [his] generation
regardless which side of the street they [came]
from.”

Louis was caught in a fatal crossfire shootout near his

home in Dorchester, Massachusetts in December of
1993. During that time, there were no resources in
Boston for survivors of homicide victims which left
Louis’ family leaving the hospital empty-handed and
empty hearted.

Louis’ murder was high-profile. The media speculated

about why a teenager was murdered in broad
daylight. Was he in a gang? Was it a drug deal gone
bad? When it was reported that Louis was, in fact, an
honor student killed on his way to a Teens Against
Gang Violence meeting, there was a major shift in
public opinion. This shift in opinion led to an
outpouring of support. But for Louis’ family, this
begged the question of what the response to their
family would have been if he were in a gang or
selling drugs? Would the same resources be poured
in?

The start of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute Louis’

parents, Joseph and Clementina Chéry co-founded
the LDBPI in 1994 to honor his legacy and continue
the peacemaking work he was leading. Their goals
were to teach young people the value of peace, focus
on the assets of community and support survivors of
homicide victims.

The work of the LDBPI began with the development

of The Peace Curriculum, to teach the value of
peace to students and help them learn how to deal
with murder, trauma, grief and loss. The curriculum
was nationally recognized as an innovative and
effective primary prevention strategy in the report
“One City’s Success Story,” by former Attorney
General Janet Reno for its contribution to the
reductions in juvenile crime in Boston.

In 1996, the City of Boston, the Boston Police

Department and other local government agencies
began referring survivors of homicide victims to
Clementina to guide them through the aftermath of the
murder of a loved one. Clementina witnessed the way
 families were denied access to needed support and
services if their loved one was “known to police” or had
a “criminal history”. She worked to ensure that all
survivors were treated with dignity and compassion
regardless of the circumstances.
With support from the Boston Public Health
Commission, Clementina founded the Survivors
Outreach Services (SOS) program to deliver consistent
and coordinated services to impacted families. Today,
the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute serves as an
integral partner to the City of Boston and other cities
across the country in transforming society’s response to
homicide.

Reflection 10 Questions:
1. What kind of person was Louis? How did he
help other people?
2. How id you feel about what happened to
Louis? How do you think his family felt when
he died?
3. How did Louis’ family keep his memory alive?
4. How did Peace Institute help the community
of Louis Brown?

Wrap-up 5 One important part of the Peace Institute’s work is

the annual Mother’s Day Walk for Peace, a walk that
brings people together from all over the city and
state so they can share love, feel unity, and have
hope and justice.
