Members of the Twin Ports Jewish community remembered those lost at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue in a public vigil joined by Duluth Mayor Emily Larson and area residents of all faiths. Held two days after the tragic shooting deaths, the observance was broadcast in its entirety Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. on People of Color with Henry Banks.
The program also featured a discussion with Rabbi David Steinberg of Duluth-Superior's Temple Israel and temple member/KUWS contributing producer Robin Washington. Also remembered were victims of other religious and racially motivated shootings as Banks and his guests stressed the importance of maintaining hope and strength through tragedy.

Wisconsin Remembers: A Face For Every Name
Volunteers have been working over the past eight years to find photos of all the Wisconsinites killed in the Vietnam War. The project resulted in Wisconsin Remembers: A Face For Every Name, a collaborative exhibit from Wisconsin Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Television and the Wisconsin Veterans Museum featuring photos of all 1,161 Wisconsin names chiseled on the Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The traveling exhibit is available to local libraries, historic societies, schools and community spaces throughout the state. This Veterans Day, you can see A Face For Every Name at The Highground Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Neillsville, the Waupaca Public Library, and at Sullivan Elementary School in Sullivan. To learn more and find out other upcoming locations for the exhibit, go to
