It’s been called the ‘’summer of violence.’’ Nearly thirty people have been shot since June 1st in Allentown. As PBS39’s Megan Frank reports, the community came together on Sunday for an anti-violence block party at Stevens Park, even asking gang members to show up and speak out about ending the violence.
