Hundreds of metro area residents joined in a solemn show of support Sunday evening at Turner Park, a day of after deadly violence erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"The best way to heal is for people to come together," Layne Jensen told WOWT 6 News. "In times like this, it's not a right or left issue. This is a human issue."
Jensen and the group Indivisible Nebraskans quickly organized a vigil in Turner Park. "I do believe that there's much more good in the world than bad," Gina Durfee told WOWT 6 News. "I think it's important for people who believe what we believe not remain silent."
Those gathering Sunday were speaking in support of those who are reeling after the violence that left one woman dead. She was mowed down by a car after protesting a gathering of white nationalists and neo-Nazis. Jensen says everyone should all come together to heal.
"We, at the end of the day, are all humans," Jensen said. "We're all Americans. We should support and love one another."
