After the shooting, against the advice of the police, Edna went to the neighborhood and pledged a fair investigation. She circumvented any violent reactions that were happening in other parts of the country. She had committed to the community that she would not forget the people there. Most people thought she would not show up on the one year anniversary since it was her birthday. She did show up and one of the young men, who had no job and would be termed “at risk” by some standards, was so moved that he gave her a dollar, which he really could not afford. That was followed by many other young men doing the same. Edna was so touched that she made a corsage of the bills so she could keep those young men’s struggles close to her heart. That being said Edna will no longer be wearing the corsage, but she will not forget about her pledge to help those young men. From now on, the only place to see her corsage will at the Re-Elect Edna Jackson Facebook Page.
