PHILADELPHIA - "Say her name,” said a sea of people chanting in memory and in honor of Dominique Fells known to many as Rem’mie.
The transgender woman's life was brutally taken back in June. Members of the Black LGBTQ community organized the vigil Friday on the 700 block of South 50th Street in West Philly.
Dozens lit candles and placed flowers at a mural bearing Rem’mie'sname. Her uncle Roland Williams spoke on behalf of the family. "The support is tremendous.
