There Was A Massive Candlelight Vigil In Charlottesville Last Night
Charlottesville held a beautiful candlelight vigil last night.
Crowds gathered in Charlottesville on Wednesday night for a peaceful candlelight vigil and march just four days after violent neo-Nazi mobs took over the city.
Demonstrators could be heard singing “This Land Is Your Land” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” among others.
The vigil followed the memorial service for Heather Heyer, who was killed when a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of people protesting white supremacy.
During the memorial service, Heather’s mother Susan Bro said “We don’t all have to die. We don’t all have to sacrifice our lives.”
“They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what? You just magnified her,” she continued.
