The Autura Eason-Williams Day of Lament and Action (AEWDLA) was conceived by the Late Rev. Roger Hopson and the Rev. Marilyn E. Thornton as a time to honor the memory of the Rev. Dr. Autura Eason-Williams, who was removed from us by gun violence on July 18, 2022, by offering a time of lament for other similar losses in black communities and providing opportunity for people to engage in discussion and formulate solutions for gun violence awareness, reduction, and repair.
