Lithonia teen honored from House floor
Congressman Hank Johnson, D- Lithonia, recently honored a Lithonia teen from the House floor for winning a national award promoting peaceful action.
Mary-Pat Hector launched the “Think Twice” campaign in April after the shooting deaths of a 14-year-old Grayson High student in Loganville and a 15-year-old student in Chicago.
Hector plans to use the $50,000 award that comes with the Peace First Price to attend Spelman College and also boost her campaign’s website and programming.
