By Joseph Lyell —
More than two dozen people gathered near the observatory to remember Savannah Walker, a U of L student killed in a shooting at the Tim Faulkner Gallery this March.
U of L’s Department of Communication dedicated a tree memorializing Walker’s accomplishments at the university. The tree is a silk ivory lilac, one of only three on campus.
Pan-African Studies Department Chair Ricky Jones said losing Savannah is hard on the community, but said the tree will always remind us of what Walker is about.
