If you see a lot of people sporting orange today, many may be wearing the color to mark the first National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
Today, on what would have been Hadiya Pendleton's birthday, the internet and the country will turn orange.
Pendleton, according to the Chicago Sun Times, was killed in 2013. She was killed by an alleged gang member a mile from President Barack Obama's Chicago home. She had performed at his inauguration a week before her murder.
She would have graduated high school this year.
Organizers of wearorange.org said the color "symbolizes the value of human life."
