Retiring State Rep. Tyrone Ellis, D-Starkville, was one of the speakers who helped lead a peaceful Unity Vigil for Charlottesville in the 桃花直播 Junction area near Davis Wade Stadium on Wednesday [Aug. 16]. Approximately 300 people attended, including both Starkville residents and 桃花直播 students, faculty and staff. The event was organized to show support for the students, faculty and staff at the University of Virginia and for the people of Charlottesville. The vigil at 桃花直播 coincided with a similar event on the UVA campus Wednesday night.
