Live stream of Heather Heyer memorial gathering

WVIR TV in Charlottesville has announced they will air and live stream the memorial for Heather who was murdered by a white supremacist Saturday in Charlottesville. Coverage begins shortly before 11 am eastern time.

I'm not aware of any other full coverage. There will of course be some coverage on the cable/satellite news. I'm not sure I can stand their commentary and analysis.

I was too upset after listening to Elwood, her grandfather, a coworker from many years ago and friend, to come back and update.

Thanks for updating DU

that people were asked to wear something purple in remembrance. I did. I saw a few people on the Metro with a purple shirt, but that might not have had anything to do with Heather Heyer.

Thanks for the thread. I'm listening to the channel 29 video now.

That would be a win for them, not me.

Sorry if I gave the impression I was here. I left 10:45 am and returned 4 am. I'm too old and decrepit to hit the streets anyways

I still haven't recovered from that day. What has happened here hasn't helped. I am supposed to be retired, but we had no one else to go. I do like very much setting up a superb sounding PA and mixing a professional band for the most important day in peoples lives. The walking around money is nice too.
