Abstract

On March 2, 1998, my childhood friend, Rosmari Pleasure, was gunned down by a male acquaintance in the driveway of her Memphis home. A More Excellent Way, Inc. (AWay) was created in response to this tragedy and is committed to bringing an end to these violent acts that plague our community. In addition to the annual Sisters4Life5K race, AWay, Inc. sponsors: an annual conference, entitled A Conversation of Love: Preventing Relationship Violence; preventive educational initiatives such as Circles of Courage; and the Very Special People (VSP) Scholarship to assist former victims of domestic violence.
