 More than 130 flags were placed in remembrance of
victims of gun violence, especially those who were friends or
relatives of Lincoln College students. Dunn chairs the Impact and
Awareness Committee of the Student Activity Board and proposed the
memorial to raise awareness within the campus community of the
personal and psychological impact that gun violence can have on
students.
Dunn, who is from Zion, personally had five friends and relatives
represented by the flags, and said she also wanted people to realize
that gun violence is not solely an urban problem and that students
from suburban and rural areas also experience gun violence.

The memorial is also being used to highlight the premiere of a
special documentary on how gun violence has touched the lives of a number of
Lincoln College students. The documentary, “Too Many to Count on Hands” –
Lincoln College’s Chicago, was produced by Radio, Television and New Media
students and will premiere at the Lincoln Film Festival this weekend on Saturday
and Sunday at 6:20 p.m. on Screen Six.
