“Although our candles may not stay lit, the fire burns on in our hearts,” said Camille High, organizer of the “Shatter the Silence” vigil at 16th Street Park. The wind kept blowing out the candles but not the resolve of the attendees.
High, a cofounder of Black in Bayonne, hosted the vigil in honor of sexual assault and domestic violence victims and survivors during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. High holds the event every other year or so to talk about the “uncomfortable subject” and hold space for those affected.
