n a clear message of solidarity, Americans of all backgrounds and faith held candlelight vigils from coast to coast to mourn the victims of the gurdwara rampage here. The Sikh Coalition estimated that more than 30 vigils were held across the US Wednesday evening as community groups pushed for action to ensure that no group suffers a similar fate.
More such vigils were planned in the coming days, the coalition said, expressing hope that these "will hasten our collective journey to stamp out hate and intolerance in our nation".
