Visiting the Emmanuel AME Church and “The Charleston 9”

Emmanuel Methodist Episcopal Church
While in Charleston we visited the Emmanuel Methodist Episcopal Church which a little over a year ago was the scene of a mass shooting that took the lives of 9 individuals who were in the church worshipping. This shooting was one of the incidents that helped fueled the debate over gun control laws which is currently going on in our country. #Charleston9
