Title

God Bless

Description

Two men hold up a banner with the slogan "God Bless Virginia Tech" and a ribbon bearing the name of April 16 victim Nicole White. Photo taken on April 16, 2008, A Day of Remembrance, just prior to the start of a student "lie-in" on the far end of the drillfield. Organized by Virginia Tech student Alison St. Onge, who was a close friend of White, the event was intended to memorialize the victims and protest easy access to firearms. Other family and friends of victims spoke at the event before dozens of supporters laid down in silent protest and reflection.
