ALBANY, GA -- Day two of the three-day 'Stop the Violence Youth Summit' in Albany is complete. Hundreds of people attended Friday’s event. Officials held educational seminars on HIV/AIDS, peer pressure, and a variety of other topics. Organizer Anne Johnson Milledge says the time they spent planning events for this weekend was well worth it. “There’s been a lot of planning; a lot of effort has gone into this. And I see right now the children, what they're getting from it. The fact that they got a chance to meet some people who've done some of the things they want to do” says Milledge. About 1,000 people came out for day one; however organizers say they expect the biggest crowd Saturday.
