Join the Midcoast community for a vigil for Kohen Kartier Wiley, a 1-year-old black baby murdered by Senatobia, Mississippi police.
The vigil will be held in Belfast, Maine on the corner of Main Street and High Street starting at 7:30pm on Sunday June 21st. There will be a standout with signs then a silent walk to the Belfast Boat House where mourners will sing songs, light candles and release nature rafts.
Bring signs and musical instruments. Join our community in mourning Kohen Wiley and demanding the abolition of police and their centuries long violence against black people on Turtle Island.
The original post was taken down to honor the wishes of Vellisiya Wiley, Kohen’s mother, who has requested that people stop sharing photos of her baby.
Community event will be featured on WERU’s Around Town with Amy Browne tomorrow at 8am.
