Last night, one of the worst domestic terrorism attacks in recent history happened in Charleston, South Carolina. A man acting in the name of white supremacy murdered nine Black people, most of whom were women, while they prayed at the Emanuel AME Church, the oldest African Methodist Episcopal church in the South.
These are the names of the people who he murdered:
Sharonda Coleman-Singleton
DePayne Middleton Doctor
Cynthia Hurd
Susie Jackson
Ethel Lance
Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney
Tywanza Sanders
Daniel Simmons
Myra Thompson
Please read more about their lives.
If you're a white American and have an income, I strongly suggest donating to organizations that fight white supremacy. Here are some suggestions from Valerie Aurora:
Equal Justice Initiative
Representative John Conyers, who has introduced legislation every year to make reparations for slavery to Black Americans.
We the Protestors
You can also donate directly to the Emanuel AME Church.
