ITHACA, N.Y. — Hundreds of people attended two rallies in Ithaca Sunday night in solidarity with the people of Charlottesville, Virginia, where white supremacists rallied and clashed with counterprotesters, leaving one woman dead and many injured.
People from the first rally in Dewitt Park joined a large vigil in the Ithaca Commons at 8:30 p.m. to ‘Shine a Light Into the Night for Charlottesville.’ People brought lights and candles to shine while speakers addressed the need for change, awareness, action and unity at a local level.
