Remembering the Victims

Violence is so common in our cities that sometimes it's easy to become numb to its horrors. The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle has found a way to break through that numbness with its valuable "Not Forgotten" project. The "Not Forgotten" Web site lists every homicide victim in Rochester this year. When you click on the victims' names, you are taken to audio slideshows featuring photos of the victims and the voices of family and friends recalling their lives. Producer Will Yurman has done a great job using this multimedia approach to humanize the stories behind the statistics. Thank you Michael Wentzel for recommending this project. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/notforgotten
