Hadiya is slowly becoming a national symbol for the growing gun violence in Chicago. It makes my heart bleed to know that she denounced gun violence in a 2008 PSA, according to the Chicago Sun Times.
Hadiya’s wake and funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Greater Harvest Baptist Church, 5141 S. State Street.
