COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The South Carolina Attorney General’s Office is moving its annual ceremony to remember victims of domestic violence online because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Silent Witness Ceremony will be livestreamed on to the office’s Facebook page on Tuesday at 10 a.m., the agency announced.
The ceremony will remember men and women killed as a result of domestic violence in 2019. The Statehouse ceremony marks each victim with a life-sized silhouette and has one additional silhouette to represent unknown victims.
The speeches and the silhouettes will remain Tuesday, but family members and loved ones who stand with the cutouts will not be there.
