This church stands in solidarity with African American people. Every month on the second Sunday they hold a vigil for the solidarity
with Black Lives Matter. By doing this they are bringing a reflection and a connection space for people calling for racial injustice and the end to police brutality. The photo has been edited to protect the privacy of those attending the Black Lives Matter vigil.
