Dontre Hamilton's mother is boarding a bus to Washington, D.C. Thursday morning. She will spend Mother's Day with other moms who have lost their children.
Former Milwaukee police officer Christopher Manney shot and killed her son in Red Arrow Park last year.

Organizers say they're marching for those killed by police and those killed by "racist violence."
Hamilton said her goal is to have the Department of Justice reopen police shooting cases around the country and investigate the officers involved without "bias."
