Town hall to honor legacy of Cynthia Graham Hurd and Emanuel 9
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – June 17 will mark 10 years since the tragic shooting at a historic African American church in downtown Charleston. A gunman, motivated by white supremacist views, attended a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church on the evening of June 17, 2015, before shooting and killing nine people. Five people survived the massacre. As we lead up to that day, the Lowcountry is honoring those who were impacted by the attack, the survivors who lived to tell the story, and the nine victims who left lasting legacies in the community. The Cynthia Graham Hurd Foundation for Reading, Literacy, and Civic Engagement will hold a town hall next week to honor the memory of Cynthia Graham Hurd and the Emanuel 9. Organizers say the event will also reflect on the progress made over the past 10 years, and the path forward for the community and nation. It will feature live music and a panel discussion led by CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers. Malcom Graham, the brother of Cynthia Graham Hurd, spoke with News 2 about the importance of not forgetting what happened that night. 'The purpose of the program really is to celebrate Cynthia's life, her legacy, her impact in the Charleston community. And secondly, to do the work that's necessary to create conversations around a very complicated issue. What happened in Charleston 10 years ago centered around race, discrimination, and hatred,' he said. The town hall will be held at Emanuel AME Church in downtown Charleston on June 12 at 6 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
