CLEVELAND, Ohio- Vigils and rallies organized by community activists and a cousin of Tamir Rice, who is expected to bring buses from Ferguson to the events, will be held at 10 am on Saturday, Dec 20 and Sunday, Dec. 21 at the Cudell Recreation Center on the Cleveland's largely White west side where the 12-year-old Black boy was slain by Cleveland police on Nov 22 for sporting a toy pellet gun. On Saturday there will also be a forum at Cudell, organizers said. (Editor's note: The address of the Cudell Recreation Center is 1910 West Boulevard in Cleveland).

The events are  being billed as the Cleveland-Ferguson stance to also remember Michael Brown, the Black teen slain in Ferguson, Missouri by former police officer Darrin Wilson, whom a grand jury last month refused to indict on criminal charges.

Organizers have said that Ferguson protesters will stand in solidarity with Clevelanders.
