The plaque reads:
"THIS
HATE CRIME MEMORIAL PLAQUE
IS DEDICATED IN MEMORY OF
17-YEAR OLD JOHN ROBERT WEAR
AND OTHER VICTIMS OF HATE CRIMES
ON DECEMBER 13, 1991, THREE MEN BRUTALLY ATTACKED A GROUP
OF FRIENDS AS THEY WALKED DOWN UNIVERSITY AVENUE.
THIS INCIDENT WAS CONSIDERED A HATE CRIME BECAUSE THE
PERPETRATORS CALLED OUT "FAGGOTS" AS THEY PURSUED.
ONE OF THE YOUTH, JOHN WEAR, WAS FATALLY STABBED.
CITIZENS OF THIS COMMUNITY ARE DEDICATED TO ENDING
HATRED AND VIOLENCE ON OUR STREETS"
