Jennifer Hudson honored the memory of her slain nephew during the 1st annual Julian D. King Gift Foundation Hatch Day celebration at De La Salle Institute in Chicago, Illinois yesterday (August 14, 2011).

With her sister Julia by her side, Jennifer distributed school supplies to students. Hudson said she felt a school supply giveaway was the perfect way to honor her nephew?s memory, because he was really enthusiastic about learning.

?Because of his size, people always said Julian was going to be a football player,? said Julia.? But Julia said her son wanted to be a doctor and used to insist that people call him ?Dr. King?

Yesterday would have been Julian’s 10th birthday.

Jennifer also took a moment to address her recent twitter battle, where she was involved in a heated exchange with a fan who inquired if she’d had weight loss surgery.

J-Hud was less than apologetic and felt her actions were necessary.
