Even as the flowers fade, the hurt and pain of the atrocities that occurred
here in Charleston, SC on that bloody June Wednesday is very much alive.
It is joined with the mixed emotions of those visiting the Mother
Emanuel AME Church, which has now become a living monument
and shrine of flowers, prayers, the American flag, poems, inspirational
sayings, peace signs, signature boards, teddy bears, and candles to
name a few of the mementos left in front of this historic church. Historic
because Mother Emanuel was once ordered burned to the ground by
the City of Charleston that now sends out its men in blue to protect it.
How ironic. What would Denmark Vesey say?
