Weekly peace vigil keeps activists coming downtown

Rain sprinkled on the corner of Light and Pratt streets, wind and traffic blew by and Betsy Cunningham stood quietly in a black coat, clutching her little peace cards.

“I would call it personal diplomacy,” Cunningham said, pausing from the weekly vigil she keeps with other local Women in Black to talk about their anti-war mission. “When you meet people, you greet them in peace.”
