According to Wjla.com, the mother of slain Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington will speak at a Take Back The Night rally in Roanoke, Virginia tomorrow (Tuesday, April 20th).
Gil Harrington will speak at The Jefferson College of Health Sciences' Take Back the Night rally on Tuesday night. Morgan's father Dan spoke at the Take Back the Night rally in Charlottesville earlier in April.
Take Back the Night is an international movement hosted by many colleges to raise awareness of violence against women and promote positive change. People are allowed to speak about their personal experiences and there is a candlelight vigil to honor victims of sexual violence. This is the first Take Back the Night for Jefferson College of Health Sciences.
Morgan Harrington disappeared outside a METALLICA concert in Charlottesville on October 17, 2009. Her body was found in January on a farm in southern Albemarle County. In April, forensic testing concluded a black PANTERA t-shirt found on a bush outside an apartment builing in Charlottesville belonged to Harrington is the one she was reportedly wearing when she disappeared.
Her killer or killers have not been found.
