Around 50 residents of the Brockway area gathered to celebrate diversity Friday night.
The event was primarily organized by Jackie and Jo Stoneberg, getting support from local families and Project Love. The event organizers got support from Brockway Mayor Bill Hrinya, the borough council, and businesses in Brockway.
The event was designed to be family-friendly and not a march. People lined Main Street with signs, and organizers had activities for children, including coloring books and sidewalk chalk.
The event involved speakers, singing, some chanting, and a candlelight vigil at the end.
The event had speeches from Nikki Clark, Suzane Buttery, and Rev, Christopher McCloskey, who said that the message of justice is one that is found in the Bible.
