When Purple Means Sadness



We go through a little ritual every year. People drive by the trees outside City Hall, and then ask, "Why does the city have Christmas lights up in October?" We need to convince a local business or someone to donate a lighted sign to explain those lights.

The purple lights are meant to show solidarity with those who promote Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Last night, a couple of presenters played a 911 call to the council meeting, with a child crying as her mother was being beaten. The call was horrible. It should not take purple lights or recordings of crying children to remind us of a need to do more, but it does and they do.
