There's somethin' happenin' here what it is ain't exactly clear there's a man with a gun over there tellin' me I'd better beware it's time to stop. Buffalo Springfield

This exhibit was not created to entertain you. Nor was it created to make you feel good. This exhibit was created for the sole purpose of bringing you face to face with the problem of violence and murder in Cincinnati. Far, far too many of our fellow citizens have been or will be killed senselessly because of ignorance, envy, greed, and hatred. You know what's happenin'. You read about it in the local section of the newspaper, you watch it on the ten o'clock news, you talk about it with family friends, co-workers, and your local radio talk program and then you whisper a little prayer to God thanking Him it wasn't you or yours. But each of these people pictured here is yours, each one is you. Like it or not you are tied, bound to every living creature. You and I are here for one another and what happens to the least of us happens to all of us. I ask that you read the police reports first, then read the accounts of the families, then look into their eyes and feel their hurt and pain and join us in the chorus "IT'S TIME TO STOP"
