Honoring Alicia Rasin // The Rev. Ben Campbell leads a prayer at the June 7 dedication of the “Peace Fountain” in Jefferson Park in the East End in tribute to the late Alicia Rasin, Richmond’s longtime volunteer “ambassador of compassion.” Before her death last October, Ms. Rasin devoted her efforts to comforting families of homicide victims. For more than 20 years, she organized vigils for the bereaved and funerals for those killed. She also founded and led Citizens Against Crime to galvanize community efforts to halt the killings and provide information to police to make arrests. The fountain, installed across the street from Ms. Rasin’s longtime residence on Princess Anne Avenue, is a gift to the city from the J. Fulmer Bright Foundation and was secured for the site by the Friends of Jefferson Park. The city also has installed an honorary street sign bearing Ms. Rasin’s name on Princess Anne Avenue.
