More than 100 people of many backgrounds marched around Clinton Square during the lunch hour Tuesday to call for an end to the racism linked to the shooting that killed nine parishoners at an African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina last week. While the rally was peaceful, it was clear that many are angry about the racism that still pervades the nation.
The Syracuse Peace Council’s Amelia Lefevre says the act of terrorism is grounded in a history of disregard for…and devaluing of people of color.

Amelia Lefevre, Emily Napier, and Tawanna Jones share their outrage over the institutional racism that continues to permeate society and contribute to hatred and inequality.
An ecumenical service in memory of the victims of last week’s shooting in Charleston will take place tonight (Wednesday ) at 7 at the First Universalist Society of Central Square. That’s on Route 49 just west of Route 11.
