This is Rev. Clementa Pinckney. He was a married father of 2 and a state senator in SC. After the police shooting of
#WalterScott, he pushed a bill requiring cops to wear body cams. A fellow Senator said he was a moral leader. When he spoke, people listened.#Charleston9 (6/10)pic.twitter.com/KpQi26DbqB

This is Sharonda Coleman-Singleton. She spent her life working with kids who needed her, and "she never let them down." She preached love, a legacy her son embraces when he asks people to "hug somebody that doesn’t look like you," just like his mom did.

This is Susie Jackson. Raised in the Jim Crow South, she spent her youth attending school and church. Later, she watched 8 grandchildren build lives of their own. For anyone looking for a home, she provided shelter. On June 17th, she was shot 11 times.

This is Tywanza Sanders. He aspired to run a barber shop, where he'd greet friends with his notorious "big ole' smile." As the shooting occurred, he pleaded with the killer to stop. His mother then watched from afar as the gun was emptied into his body.
