BIOGRAPHY
The killing of Anthony Walker united a community in anger at the ferocity and senseless nature of the racist attack.
The killers - who attended the same school as Anthony and his siblings - are now in prison, but the case has drawn international notice from the actions of the victim's family: they have forgiven Anthony's murderers.
Gee Walker's philosophy is that "My son spent his life forgiving. His life stood for peace, love and forgiveness and I brought them up that way.
"I have to practice what I preach. I don't feel any bitterness towards them really, truly, all I feel is... I feel sad for the family."
Gee talks about the power of forgiveness, learning to cope with loss, and using the tragedy to make a positive difference.
