KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Members of the Kansas City, Missouri, community gathered on Wednesday to remember the 19 students and two teachers killed in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.
The Latinx Education Collaborative held a vigil in the Pendleton Heights neighborhood.
During the vigil, people set down a candle in front of a newly-painted mural.
A moment to lay a candle right in front of their new mural. It’s of a little girl with a jar labeled ‘hope’ on it. Revolución Educativa said today ‘we must create hope, it’s not granted’. @KSHB41 pic.twitter.com/bguEupoCC9
