“Good people gotta be louder than bad people,” says comedian Dave Chappelle, who hosted a benefit concert in the wake of the Dayton shooting. 'The good ones gotta make some noise. The bad ones are getting too much spotlight.'
The event is called Gem City Shine in a nod to the city's nickname and comes three weeks after nine people were killed in the downtown Oregon District. Chappelle -- a resident of Yellow Springs, Ohio, about 20 miles outside of Dayton -- took the stage Sunday evening to cheers and applause, telling the crowd,"Today we're going to show the world that nothing will get us down.
— Nan Whaley August 25, 2019 'These are people's lives,' Chappelle says"Dayton had a tough year," Chappelle told CNN in an interview, pointing to a rally by a small group affiliated with the KKK, a tornado that devastated parts of the area and then this month's shooting."Locally, there's a determination to not let that define us and to shake the fear.
