Lt. Murphy Honored In Skywriting Over Central Park

Air signs over Central Park on Aug. 26 acknowledged the Sikh temple shootings and Oak Creek Police Lt. Brian Murphy.

They were captured in the YouTube video above and included messages of unity and prayer. 

Taj Chahal wrote the air signs were "necessary to inform, enlighten, educate, and mourn recent events."

"For many years, members of (the Sikh community) have dealt with bullying, name calling, being confused with other groups, and silently we sat, knowing that forgiveness is key. In light of recent events, it is necessary that we have our voices heard - that we speak up and inform the world who Sikhs are and what we stand for - that though we wear turbans, we are not advocates for violence; that though we're different shades we are still Americans, in search of the American dream."
