Mother Emanuel

Hours after the shootings, it had become clear that a white gunman killed the nine members of the South's oldest African Methodist Episcopal church because they were black. Community prayer and healing vigil events following the shootings helped bring people together. As a result, Charleston did not erupt into violence. Instead, people gathered together at “Mother Emanuel” in peace, love and prayer to start the healing process.
