With a kiss from his wife, Annette, and hug from his son Kenny Jr. the family of former City Councilman Kenneth N. Harris Sr. said their final goodbyes Thursday to the activist and outspoken advocate gunned down Saturday during a robbery at Northeast Baltimore Haven jazz club.

Several thousand mourners joined the family at the Morgan State University Fine Arts Center to remember the life of the 45-year-old man who dedicated his life to his family and public service.
