Amid the pandemic, an interfaith group of clergy gathers at the Reconciliation Statue in Downtown for a prayer vigil for those who have died from COVID-19. The Rev. Lacette R. Cross, pastor of Restoration Fellowship RVA and director of volunteers and outreach at Side by Side, delivers a call to action. The vigil, held Aug. 18, also was to show support for the Virginia COVID-19 Justice Coalition’s effort to gain release of nonviolent inmates from jails and prisons in the state due to the virus threat. Location: 15th and Main streets.
