Medford Officials To Lead Virtual Vigil For Black Lives Lost

MEDFORD, MA — Medford leaders will host a virtual vigil next week in remembrance of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and black lives lost to "senseless and unacceptable acts of violence."

The vigil will include remarks by Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn, Police Chief Jack Buckley, Director of Diversity & Inclusion Neil Osborne and Superintendent Marice Edouard-Vincent, as well as community activists and authors, local clergy and the local branch of the NAACP.

This is one of several dialogues and actions the city, police department and schools intend to take to create change and promote equity in Medford.

"As we continue community dialogue and work toward systemic change in Medford, toward equity, and to denounce racism, we hope you will join us for this virtual vigil and moment of silence," officials said.
