New York's Empire State Lights Up For Chibok Girls

Yesterday, New York's Empire State building was lit up in red and
purple in honor of more than 200 Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko
Haram one year ago.

The edifice was to remain illuminated until 2:00 am, a nod to the
number of girls who remain missing.

Candlelight vigils, rallies and prayers were held from Nigeria to New
Zealand to Paris to mark one year since the girls were kidnapped,
while others commemorated the missing students and demanded their safe
return with #BringBackOurGirls messages.
