Marcia Owen, vigilant against violence, with care for its victims: Tar Heel of the Week

By Marti Maguire — Correspondent

DURHAM — Not long after Robin Oliver’s 21-year-old son was fatally shot in front of her home in the Bluefield neighborhood, a stranger paid her a visit.

Marcia Owen brought flowers and food. She listened as Oliver talked about her son. Eventually, she helped plan a candlelight vigil that drew more than 50 people – many of whom had never met DeAndre Oliver – to Oliver’s yard late last month.

Owen, 57, has attended hundreds of such vigils over her 20 years with the Religious Coalition for a Nonviolent Durham. She works with families to mark violent deaths with public mourning, including larger annual events that honor all those killed in the past year.

It is not the critic who counts; nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled, or where the doer of a deed could have done better.
The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends oneself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

"The Man in the Arena: Citizenship in a Republic"
Address delivered at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910.
