SU community celebrates life, death despite gun violence
Aliyah Mensah’s voice shook as she spoke about her cousin in front of the Old Main fountain at Shippensburg University illuminated by candles held by the audience. She planned the event, called Living Through You, to honor her cousin, Nasim Alameen, and other loved ones who were lost because of gun violence. Alameen would have turned 22 years old on Nov. 6, 2018, the day of the event. He was killed two months earlier on Sept. 12. Mensah, a senior at SU, was incredibly close to her cousin. The two grew up in the same house and would see each other during breaks from school. The Slate alumna Shannon Long created this video for her senior capstone project. The Slate has decided to publish it now in light of the homicide that occurred just a minute's walk off-campus earlier this year.
