WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is pleased to name Clementina Chéry its Public Citizen of the Year. Ms. Chéry is an activist in the field of youth and gang violence prevention.

Clementina (Tina) Chéry is president and CEO of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute in Dorchester, MA, and serves as its director of outreach services. In 1993, Ms. Chéry's son, Louis Brown, was shot and killed while on his way to a Christmas party given by a group called Teens Against Gang Violence—a violence prevention, intervention and peer leadership development program. In 1994 she and her husband Joseph founded the Institute, which is dedicated to carrying on their son's legacy of preventing violence in their community.
