Survivors show way of forgiveness
The slain worshipers in Charleston, S.C., have now been laid to rest. They left behind a beautiful legacy demonstrated by their surviving family members.
The families reacted to this horrible act with a strength and grace they undoubtedly learned from those they lost. The surviving congregants and family members have shown our nation the way toward racial harmony.
Only black men and women are in a position to begin the final steps in healing the racial wounds of our nation’s past. Rioting, anger and blaming many for the actions of a few will not inspire people of any race.
Fear of laws may change behavior, but only love can change hearts.
