Beginning July 4, a daily tower lighting will be held both morning and evening to honor the victims and families of the Champlain condominium.
Held at the Paramount Miami WorldCenter, “One World, One Prayer”, a global anthem produced by renowned artist Emilio Estefan and performed by the late Bob Marley, will be played at the event. Speaking on the song’s significance, Estefan explains that “the tower-lighting signals the vital importance of worldwide unity and prayer in this time of tragedy.”
It is requested that the radio stations play the song during night time. The song will be played for two minutes at the beginning of every hour, starting at 5:00 am and ending at sunrise. The cycle will then continue at sunset and end at midnight.
Seen as the tallest digital electronic lightning system in the world, the mosaic will display 132 world flags.
It is expected that this demonstration will continue till every victim of the building collapse is accounted for.
The WorldCenter Lighting System is home to 14,300 lighting diodes and the system has the capacity to produce 16.2 million color combinations. In addition, WorldCenter is the largest urban core development in the US and the second largest overall real estate development.
The initiative is part of a wider effort to provide support for victims of the collapse, as illustrated in a recent GoFundMe page.
