520 On June 17, 2015, at 9:05 p.m., a young man with a handgun
opened fire on a prayer meeting at the Mother Emanuel
African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Charleston,
South Carolina, killing nine members of the congregation.
The captured shooter, twenty-one-year-old Dylan Roof, a
white supremacist, was charged with their murders. Two
days after the shooting, while Roof's court hearing was
held on video conference, the families of his nine victims,
one by one, appeared on the screen-forgiving the killer.
The "Emanuel Nine" set a profound example for their
families, their city, their nation, and indeed the world.
We Are Charleston not only recounts the events of that
terrible day but also offers a history lesson that reveals
a deeper look at the suffering, triumph, and even the
ongoing rage of the people who formed Mother Emanuel
A.M.E. church and the wider denominational movement. In
many ways, this church's story is America's story-the
oldest A.M.E. church in the Deep South fighting for
freedom and civil rights but also fighting for grace and
understanding. Fighting to transcend bigotry, fraud,
hatred, racism, poverty, and misery. The shootings in June
2015 opened up a deep wound of racism that still permeates
Southern institutions and remains part of American
society. We Are Charleston tells the story of a people,
continually beaten down, who seem to continually triumph
over the worst of adversity. Exploring the storied history
of the A.M.E. Church may be a way of explaining the price
and power of forgiveness, a way of revealing God's mercy
in the midst of tremendous pain. We Are Charleston may
help us discover what can be right in a world that so
often has gone wrong.
