Tomorrow night, local residents and members of the University of Virginia community will take part in the annual Take Back the Night rally and march, to encourage the awareness and prevention of sexual violence. The rally, which begins at 5pm at Washington Park, will feature speeches by Dan Harrington, father of murdered Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington, as well as Liz Seccuro, who was sexually assaulted in 1984 while a student at the University of Virginia.
Harrington will speak at 6pm, and Seccuro at 6:25pm. In an e-mail, Harrington said that Take Back the Night "raises awareness of violence against women, shares resources available locally, and gives individuals tools to help create positive change."
More details on the event are available at the Take Back the Night blog.
