Title
Omar Samaha Speaks at Lie-In
Description
Omar Samaha, brother of April 16 victim Reema Samaha, speaks at a student "lie-in" on the drillfield on April 16, 2008, A Day of Remembrance. Organized by Virginia Tech senior Alison St. Onge, the lie-in was designed as both a memorial to the victims and a protest against easy access to firearms. Family and friends of the victims spoke at the event before dozens of supporters laid down in silent protest and reflection.
