A crowded scene from last Friday’s “Lights for Liberty” vigil on the State Capitol grounds calling for an end to the detention camps and family separations imposed on migrants to the United States along the southern border. Hundreds of people attended the vigil, which was sponsored by numerous Richmond area organizations, including Indivisible Virginia, the Virginia ACLU, UndocuRams and ReEstablish Richmond. Local activists, advocates and others spoke at the event, which was one of nearly 700 Lights for Liberty events held around the globe. Bridgette Newberry, an art teacher in Richmond, held her sign aloft in the crowd. (Regina H. Boone/Richmond Free Press)
