Last night, June 17, a man walked into the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church and opened fire after sitting with the people at bible study for some time. He killed nine people. For someone to walk into a church where people are studying the bible is just beyond words. As Cornell William Brooks stated, "There is no greater coward than a criminal who enters a house of God and slaughters innocent people engaged in the study of scripture." What has this world come to? How have we gotten back to this? I feel as if we are reverting back to the days of Jim Crow. This shooting is reminiscent to the church bombing in Alabama that killed four little girls in 1963.
Heartbreaking...
