Chase Gives $4Mil to Prepare Low Income Detroit Youth for Good Jobs
A $4 million grant will expand young people's access to economic opportunity in poor Detroit neighborhoods, by giving them real-world training and experience.
Witness this heavenly sight as the Orlando Shakespeare Theater creates giant wings to shield funeral mourners from the likes of Westboro Baptist Church.
Costume crews and volunteers for the Orlando Shakespeare Theater created giant white angel wings to help shield funeral mourners from having to see anti-gay protestors.
People also showed up to the funeral with huge rainbow flags to ensure family members of the victim would not have to see the hate-filled signs waved by members from the notorious Westboro Baptist Church.
In the end, police ushered the protestors from the site to cheers from the hundreds gathered to support the family.
The idea for the large wings dates back years to the 1998 Matthew Shepard killing in Wyoming and has been used at various funerals since then.
