Adamika Village founder Daryle Allums explains why their Town Nights event at Sunnyside Park is unique and different. “Adamika Village is a victim-led organization, so everything we do is in honor of loved ones lost to violence or to honor their families,” Allums said. Last winter, their event was hosted at Castlemont High School, and paid tribute to Michael Franklin, Castlemont’s star basketball forward who lost his life in a double-homicide on Edes and 90th Avenue in 2018. They dubbed the school, whose mascot is the knight, “Mike’s Knight’s.”
