WAYNESBORO — There are no tall buildings to block the protestors cries for justice in Waynesboro Tuesday evening. Their chants ricochet into the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Tuesday marked one year since the murder of George Floyd. The Women of Empowerment, an activist group in Waynesboro, organized a vigil and march to commemorate Floyd and other Black citizens who have been victims of police brutality.
At least 30 people showed up with signs and poster at the Farmer's Market Pavilion.
The event kicked off with a prayer and the group welcomed Vice President Rev. Roosevelt Miller from Waynesboro NAACP to speak in front of the crowd.
