We're going to see if we can get a change. Those in attendance at the vigil sang, prayed, read poetry, talked about their personal experiences and lit candles in memory of crime victims. Reverend Derrick Greear led prayers for the event. Organizers said the event's attendance didn't matter, only that the message was spread. People don't like to come out to supposedly educational programs, but if it's a party or there is food, they're there.
Parties are fun, but it needs to be balanced.
Those in attendance ended the vigil by walking around the Quad with their candles, singing and talking.
