The following was submitted by the groups that sponsored the vigil:

An intrepid and solemn group of Watertown residents and students came together in a Vigil on Watertown Square – amid dark skies, rain, and wind – to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on Wednesday, the 50th anniversary of his assassination. But as the 50 participants gathered to hear the words of Dr. King, the sun emerged and bathed the group – and the flag above – in soft evening light.
