Hundreds gather for a Juneteenth candlelight vigil in front of the former monument to Confederate President Jefferson Davis, whose statue already has been torn down. The display capped the all-day celebration of the liberation of slaves on Friday, June 19. R&B singer Trey Songz was among the participants in the candlelight event that began at the Lee statue and culminated at the Davis monument.
