Vigil for Preston 2024

Thank you so much to everyone who came to the vigil for Preston on November 16th. Over 60 people were in attendance. We engaged in critical dialogue about the history of racial terror lynching and how racialized violence and injustice continues to show up today. We then gathered by the historical marker to hear music, poetry by Jovan Mays and a speech by Rev. Dr. Lee Butler.
