West Georgia holds vigil for Orlando victims

June 15, 2016

The University of West Georgia held a vigil Wednesday to reflect on the tragedy in Orlando.

The vigil was organized by Lambda, an LGBT organization at the university. In lieu of lighting candles, the group was invited to respond with the Spanish word “presente” and a symbolic lifting of the light after each name of the 49 victims was spoken.
