Vidor Peace Rally, a Wrap Up

The Peace Rally in Vidor on Saturday afternoon was carried out in a completely peaceful fashion.  One of Beaumont's TV stations live stream a portion of the rally, and I am including a link to that footage here.

Additionally, numerous people have tweeted about the event.  I am posting a few of those tweets below.

This is one of the event's organizers.

Yeah, Vidor is one of the last remaining sundown towns. The amount of courage it takes to go to a rally there is amazing. https://t.co/bZXYyM8Y2k

If you grew up in Texas anytime in the last 50 years, you’ll know what a big deal this is. https://t.co/t4hBTdHkaw

I - in 2020 - still don't stop for gas in Vidor, TX. And here we have a crowd of white people at a rally in support of the black community.

A town that had to be forced by the federal government to allow black people to live there in the 90’s holding a rally for the black comm. https://t.co/fEGHlF1Gsc
