Finn Abdessalam, 15, of Brooklyn, N.Y., wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, stands with her mother Elizabeth Freund, in red at left, and her grandmother Laura Finn, in black at right, to listen to a speaker during a vigil in Bethel, Vt., Tuesday, June 2, 2020, to remember black people killed by police and other violence since March. The names of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade, all black people killed by police officers, and Nina Pop, a black trans woman stabbed to death in May, were read before attendees placed candles and flowers at a memorial. Over 250 people attended the event. Finn said said she rarely sees people who look like her in the Upper Valley, and often gets stares. At the vigil, she said she finally felt welcome when she saw other people of color, calling the experience "beautiful to see." The experience has made her excited to go to more protests and vigils in honor of Black Lives Matter throughout the region. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
