The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Dylann Roof, who challenged his death sentence in the 2015 racist slayings of nine members of a Black church.
Seven years ago today, a white supremacist opened fire during a Bible study group at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Nine Black parishioners were murdered. One of the victims was the Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor. WFAE’s Sarah Delia spoke to Gracyn Doctor, her daughter, and a former WFAE colleague about her reflections on this year’s anniversary as the country continues to experience mass shootings.
