The march will wrap up at Washington Park for an interfaith prayer service around 11:15 a.m., and buses will be available for those who cannot walk the entirety of the march. (WVXU)After a days-long search, a one-year-old Cincinnati boy has been found safe. On Tuesday, Elijah Michael had gone missing after he was taken by his mother, Ivana Dasilva, who does not have legal custody. Chris Michael, the boy's father, said his 70-year-old grandmother had been watching Elijah on Tuesday afternoon while he was at work; not knowing the situation, she had let the boy go with his mother.
