Panel to reflect on 10-years since trageic shooting at Mother Emanuel in Charleston
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – One week from today will mark 10 years since an event that changed the Lowcountry forever, the tragic June 17, 2015, shooting at Mother Emanuel in downtown Charleston. A gunman, motivated by white supremacist views, shot and killed nine people during Bible study at the historically Black church, leaving a lasting impact not only on the survivors but the greater Charleston community. As the 10-year mark approaches, people across the area are reflecting on how the Lowcountry came together in the aftermath of that event and refused to let love be drowned out by hate. Elected officials and community leaders will host a forum Tuesday night to explore the progress that Charleston has made in the 10 years since the attack and what work still needs to be done. That event will get underway at the Charleston Music Hall at 7 p.m. and will feature a panel discussion with leaders in law enforcement, community advocates, and lawmakers. News 2's Carolyn Murray will moderate the panel. There will also be a special performance by Grammy Award-winning musician Charlton Singleton. The event is free; however, registration is required.
