The Marion Women’s Center will host an all day silent vigil around the downtown clock tower next Friday named An Afternoon of Compassion. Attendees choose a 10 minute to four hour silent period to raise awareness of intimate partner violence and domestic assault with The Clothesline Project on display. Local advocate Cyndi McGee said the event aims to boost visibility after last year’s sparse Take Back the Night attendance and will feature no formal program.
Luther Youngblood, a retired miner, helps maintain Herrin's Coal Miner Memorial as organizers offer remaining 8 by 8 inch blocks at 75 dollars each.

Residents call for future names to be etched to honor those who labored, served, and sacrificed.
