“My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the members of the church. I was born and raised in Charleston, and cannot fathom this recent act of violence. This church and its members have always been supportive of me, and I hope that the community will rally-around Emanuel AME to offer support during this time of loss and tragedy.”
