A Standing Ovation for Newtown Voices (Video)

The horrific Sandy Hook School shooting last December sparked intense debate over gun safety measures, a focus of the Monroe Four Freedoms Project this year.

On Wednesday night, a presentation was held on Norman Rockwell's painting "Freedom from Fear."

It ended with a performance by Newtown Youth Voices. This video captures the end of the song, "Within Our Reach", when the Ehlers Meeting Room of Edith Wheeler Memorial Library erupted into a standing ovation for the children.
