Louis D. Brown

The Louis D. Brown Peace Institute is named after 15-year old peacemaker Louis D. Brown, who worried about the effect of violence on his community and dreamed of becoming the first Black President of the United States. Louis was the innocent victim of a Dorchester, MA gang shooting in 1993. Joseph and Clementina Chery, the parents of Louis D. Brown, founded the Louis D. Brown Institute for Peace in 1994 to continue the peacemaking legacy of their son.
