A Life Remembered—Lawrence King
On February 12, 2008, fifteen year-old Lawrence King was murdered in his school by a classmate. Unlike many recent school tragedies, which have featured sporadic violence, friends of Lawrence say he was targeted, shot and killed because of his sexual orientation and gender expression.
Join your family, friends and neighbors in making sure this young boy, and this terrible tragedy, is not forgotten. Vigils in memory of Lawrence King, and a call for an end to violence and harassment directed at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in schools, are being organized in communities across the country.
Click here to find a vigil in your area, or fill out the form to list a remembrance event in your community.
Please, help make sure that what happened to Lawrence never has to happen again.
