• Joseph Huberman sponsored a Candle Light Peace Vigil on March 16, 2003.  It was part of a world wide Vigil movement of 6848 Vigils in 140 countries.  We had about 400 participants, and we lined both sides of the Boylan Avenue Bridge with people holding candles.  

  • If you have any statements you would like to include here about the event, please email them to me at   and I will include them.

  • Here are some pictures from our event.
