Numerous churches and local organizations participated in a vigil on Friday, June 5th along 16th Street. Inviting community members of all (or no) faiths to join, churches along the street hosted people along the sidewalks from 5 - 6pm to show support against racism. Bells were rung at 5:45pm for eight minutes, 46 seconds… the length of time that George Floyd had a police officer’s knee on his neck, leading to his murder.

The vigil was highly attended up and down 16th Street, and the organizers will be continuing the vigils each Friday of June, from 5-6pm.
