The participants started the Peace Walk at the Jewish Community Center and ended at the Church of the Resurrection in Overland Park. Promoting peace and diversity, SevenDays is a week-long commemoration of the victims of the shooting at the Jewish Community Center on April 13, 2014. Reporter Cara McClain, a student at the Missouri School of Journalism, produced this Storify.
