Interfaith breakfast in Milwaukee
What we know:
Students performed, and elected officials and faith leaders spoke at the breakfast. Among them, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, who shared a message of community.
"I don't think people can outsource responsibility to me, to the police chief, to the superintendent and the schools. We need everybody in the game. We need everybody participating. We need everybody lifting up kids in Milwaukee," Johnson said. "All of us are responsible for these kids. These kids belong to each and every one of us. And as mayor, I can tell you, not just mayor, but as a dad, dad of three kids all in Milwaukee Public Schools, we as a collective community, we're going to pay for these kids. All these kids we're going to pay for these kids one way or another."
