Charleston, south carolina. Killer intended to start a Race War in south carolina. He joined the victims in a bible Study Class and then he took their lives in a house of worship. Its a reminder that our work to root out hate never ends because hate hides. It never fully goes away. It hides. When you breathe oxygen under that rock it comes out. Thats what we must understand that juneteenth is the commemoration of slavery but the ongoing work that has to bring true equity and racial justice into Americas Society which we can do.
