NEW ORLEANS -- Trying to fight violence with peace, a local church Saturday got the backing of a member of Congress.
In the Desire neighborhood, dozens of people took part in a rally to stop violence in the city. Rep. Cedric Richmond joined neighbors and members of Next Generation of Original Morning Star church.
The pastor said this is the first anti-violence rally for the church, and sadly, it probably won't be the last.
