Good morning, im melissa harrisperry. I want to begin this morning with the words of dr. Martin luther king jr. They have something to say to us in their death. They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of stained glass windows, they have something to say to every politician has fed his constituents the stale bread of hatred and the spoiled meat of racism. That we must substitute courage for caution. These are the words of dr. King offered to the grieving congregation gathered together amid the blistering pain and the incomprehensible loss of four little girls. Slaughtered in their Birmingham Sunday School by the bomb of southern white supremicists. Today, the words are not for four but for nine. Murdered as they gathered together in the familiar ritual of wednesday night bible study. Rechbd Clementa Pinckney 41. Reverend sharonda singleton, 45. Sanders, 26. Ethel lance, 70.
