A vigil will be held Friday at New Mexico State University's Las Cruces campus. The vigil starts at 7 p.m. at the Corbett Center Student Union outdoor stage.
"Our students have been strong voices against injustice these past few weeks. They are a reminder to be smart and fearless during troubled times. We have an opportunity to support them as they raise awareness of social injustice at a candlelight vigil at 7 p.m. Friday, June 19, at the Corbett Center Student Union outdoor stage. This vigil is sponsored jointly by NMSU’s Black Programs and ASNMSU. It coincides with traditional Juneteenth celebrations and will include a call for voter registration," said Dr. John Floros, New Mexico State Univesity President, in a statement to the campus community.
