HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutch in Harmony is holding a candlelight event to allow the community to mourn following the verdict in the trial of the police officer responsible for the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The group said on Facebook,
"With the Chauvin trial having reached a verdict, we still feel the ache of loss for George Floyd and though steps of accountability have been taken, justice will never be truly served for him nor for the many lives senselessly taken due to white supremacy and police brutality.
"So join us Wednesday for an evening of community mourning, remembrance, and resolve. An evening to find togetherness in our anguish and comfort in our joined resolve to further justice in our community and nation.
"We will be meeting in Chester I Lewis Plaza at 8:00 p.m. Bring candles, flashlights, or phone lights if you can - we will have some candles available as well. We will also have a memorial set up, if anyone would like to leave flowers or tokens.
"If you're able, we'll be wearing white in some small way as a symbol of our mourning.
Please dress warmly and don't forget your masks."
