His stated intention was to start a race war. He was convicted of 33 federal hate crime & murder charges and is serving 9 life sentences. Of note, South Carolina is still one of only 2 states that do not have a hate crime law.

Spending a lot of time today thinking about 20 years ago in Charleston. The shock has worn off but the horror has not. Remembering. The nine #motheremanuel victims deserved so much better than the hate that took them from us.

“Remembering the nine murders in Charleston is a commitment that our church must never forget. As the #ELCA, our story is forever bound to the story, people, and community of #MotherEmanuel AME. They are us, and we are them.”

On this day, I’ll watch this moving and beautiful tribute to the #MotherEmanuel #AME9 ;we are lost in the woods something fierce, so let Joan’s heartbreaking voice and lyrics offer some comfort. 💐💔🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Today marks 10 years since the Mother Emanuel shooting—an act of racist violence that stole nine lives during Bible study. South Carolina still hasn’t closed the Charleston loophole or passed common-sense gun laws.
Honor the Charleston 9 with action.

I Will Rise - A Tribute to the Emanuel Nine This song was written by Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, Diana Weynand, as a tribute to the nine extraordinary individuals who died June 17th, 2015, at the Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, S.C. They will never be forgotten.

They welcomed a stranger with open hearts. Their faith became their legacy. We remember. We act. We rise.
"I Will Rise" honors the light, legacy, and love of the Emanuel Nine. bit.ly/Emanuel_9

I’m in the Lowcountry pouring libations, watching and learning from Gullah artists.🧵

When Democrats have been found out to be lying about a ceasefire resolution in the Palestinian Israel conflict is almost laughable in some ways. Biden lied about it at #MotherEmanuel and AOC lied about it at the DNC Convention. What faith should we have in any party that is constantly lying?

Let’s STOP hate now!!! Join us at the State Capital in Columbia, SC this morning at 11:00am. #stophate #emanuelnine #passthebill #motheremanuel #share

We will never forget #MotherEmanuel

Sorry
There is not the kind of hate below on both sides.
Unite The Right, Proud Boys, KKK hate people because of who they are or who they love.
I hate them not for who they are. But for what they do. Attacking our Capitol and killing people they hate.
