The vigil opened with a prayer. Lord, we thank you for bringing us to a place of unity, said Bishop Kenneth Pearman. A crowd of about 60 people stood around him as the sun set over Courthouse Square. To recover from the things that seem to be stolen.
The prayer ended, and a megaphone was handed off between community members and leaders. They stepped forward one by one to testify against police brutality and demand reform. A few wore shirts that read Black Lives Matter, and I can t breathe.
All asked for the same thing: Unity.
Tuesday s vigil marked one year since the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a white former Minneapolis police officer. His death was incendiary, caught on camera and shared a hundredfold, igniting months of demonstrations and calls for reform across the nation.
