New York, NY —

There was a memorial rally set for Saturday in Crown Heights to honor slain City Councilman James E. Davis. Davis was shot to death Wednesday by a political opponent inside New York's City Hall. The attack has sparked changes in security, and turned a re-election battle into fodder for the city's tabloids. NPR's, Allison Keyes, of the Tavis Smiley Show, has the story.
