Photos from the Inaugural of "No Silence, No Shame"
At the public ceremony,
participants placed two roses in a vase: one in memory of their relative
who was executed, and one in memory of the victim. While holding the roses,
participants took a moment to name each person being remembered and to say a
few words.
