On Wednesday, a vigil will be held to honor the lives and memories of three innocent victims, who lost their lives: Trayvon Martin, Shaima Alawadi and Kendrec Lavelle McDade.

Similar gatherings have been occurring throughout the country, such as the University of North Carolina at Asheville (provided by Colorlines.com).  For more information on the UCSD vigil, visit the Facebook event page.
