Samaria Rice, Tamir’s mother, said she has not been receiving enough financial support from organizations in Northeast Ohio to complete renovations to get it up and running.
Tamir was 12 years old when he was killed by officers while playing with a toy gun at the Cudell Recreation Center in 2014.
“I’m looking at Chicago to relocate the Tamir Rice Afro-Centric cultural center because I do have some support in Chicago,” Rice said.“It should be in Cleveland,” Rice said. “It should be here to service the community and keep Tamir’s legacy alive in Cleveland. This is where the incident happened at.“I won’t let them use my son,” Rice said. “Because he is political.”
Rice hopes the city of Cleveland and local organizations will come together to build this dream in honor of her son. “It’s very meaningful,” Rice said. “It’s got a lot of opportunities for children to do certain things.”Most Read
