We are all Hokies.

By Diane Silver

A moment of silence for the victims and their families at Virginia Tech.

The governor of Virginia called for today to be a day of morning and asked for a moment of silence at noon. Vigils and prayer services are planned around the nation.

This tiny post is In This Moment's way of remembering. We hold those lost, those wounded, those terrified and uncertain, those in need of healing in both body and soul in our hearts.

"We will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears and through all our sadness ... We will prevail ..."

- Nikki Giovanni, Virginia Tech University Distinguished Professor, poet, activist
