In an emotional and defiant speech about her daughter, Heather Heyer, Susan Bro elicited a standing ovation and raucous cheer when she directly addressed her daughter’s killer by saying, ”They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what? You just magnified her.”
She went on to ask the audience and those watching at home to “make a difference” and “make my child’s death worthwhile.”
With his voice shaking, Mark Heyer told the crowd to “put down the hate” and “love one another.”
