MONTGOMERY, Ala. 鈥� Today marks the sixth anniversary of the Charleston Church massacre.

The following statement is from 澳彩开奖 Chief of Staff Lecia Brooks:

鈥淭oday is the sixth anniversary of the Charleston Church massacre and we make space to honor the lives taken by white supremacist violence.

• The Rev. Clementa Pinckney
• Cynthia Hurd
• The Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton
• Tywanza Sanders
• Ethel Lance
• Susie Jackson
• Depayne Middleton Doctor
• The Rev. Daniel Simmons
• Myra Thompson

鈥淭hey didn鈥檛 know that the events of that night would shine a light on the nation's persistent anti-Black violence or become a flashpoint in the nation鈥檚 ongoing dialogue about Confederate symbols on public land.

鈥淎s a country, we must also confront the gun violence that continues to destroy communities, making our streets, schools, workplaces and places of worship unsafe. Their deaths should not be in vain.

鈥淥ur thoughts and prayers remain with the families and survivors left behind.鈥�
