From 5:30 PM until 6:30 PM
At Watertown Square Delta
Please join us on Tuesday, October 20th (rescheduled from the 13th) at 5:30pm in Watertown Square for a Vigil for Black Lives. Bring a sign, if you are able. There will be extra signs available. Please wear a mask and stay in your household bubble.
As the date of this vigil was planned to immediately follow Indigenous Peoples Day on October 12, we are including a focus on the history of indigenous people and their exploitation with the arrival of European settlers. The land where we stand is called Columbus Delta with a tribute to him called the Columbus Rock. We collectively need to consider a more accurate description of that time and policies that followed.
We will also continue to end the vigil with a silent reflection in memory of George Floyd and others that were killed by racial
bigotry and police brutality. Some paper lanterns will be provided.
Please wear a mask and practice social distancing in public spaces.
