Project Cry No More

About Us

Remembering the Birth
 

Project Cry No More  (PCNM) the brainchild of Vicky D. Lindsey was created in 1988 but it sat doormat for many years after Vicky co-founded and participated with other community organizations. PCNM was not originally founded as a support group for murdered victims’ loved ones. It’s purpose at that time was to help bring calm and peace to our war-torn violence-infested-infected communities but after the murder of Vicky’s 19 year old son, Lionel E.L. Whiteside, and the separation from the other organizations (several co-founded by Vicky), she decided to bring back to life PCNM  but with a different main focus of supporting murdered victims’ loved ones but with still the original focus intact.
