The NE Iowa Chapter of the Indivisible movement organized a candlelight vigil Sunday night on the steps of the Winneshiek County Courthouse.

The event was planned in reaction to the violence by neo-Nazis last weekend in Charlottesville, Virgina, resulting in one death and several injuries.

Sunday's rally in Decorah attracted around 150 people.  The crowd lit candles, heard speeches and sang songs.

Sunday night's vigil included peaceful counter demonstrations
