Good afternoon everyone,

Today, we gather with heavy hearts and with a shared sense of resolve. It has been one year since the racist mass shooting at the Dollar General just up the road from here. One year since a tragedy left an indelible mark on our community and on our souls. One year since we faced the stark reality of hate and violence…a moment when we vowed to never forget the lives lost or the pain inflicted.
