Eleven years ago today, nine Black worshipers went to Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church and never came home. They were shot and killed by a white supremacist who never should have been able to access a gun. One other person was injured and an entire community was irrevocably changed.
Today, my heart is in Charleston and with the victims, survivors, and their families. They deserved better, and Iโll always work to honor them with action.
