Daily News | From Parkland to Philadelphia: Venezuelans demand an end to gun violence in U.S.
At the Cherry Street Pier, Manuel Oliver stood on a wooden stage in front of an audience of about 50 people Thursday evening. He was visiting from Parkland, Fla., for the first time in nearly 10 years, to deliver a message sent by his son Joaquín. Captivated by the story he had to share, the audience was absolutely silent while the Venezuelan artist painted graffiti on plywood.
Using red, yellow, and blue colors in the background, Oliver glued an image of his son Joaquín, dressed in Rocky Balboa’s iconic boxing gloves and briefs, on the plywood while Survivor’s ”Eye of the Tiger” played. Emilio Buitrago, a representative of Casa de Venezuela, said the purpose of centering on gun violence was to make Latinos more aware about differences in gun culture in Latin America and in the United States.
