Rev. Al Sharpton reflects on the first anniversary of the 2022 mass shooting at a Buffalo grocery store that left 10 Black people dead at his weekly rally this morning along with the recent manslaughter charges in the chokehold killing of Jordan Neely.
FILE - Investigators stand outside during a moment of silence for the victims of the Buffalo supermarket shooting outside the Tops Friendly Market on May 21, 2022, in Buffalo, N.Y. The number of U.S. mass killings linked to extremism was at least three times higher in the last decade than the total from any 10-year period since the 1970s. That's according to a report released to The Associated Press by the Anti-Defamation League.
Rev. Al Sharpton, Founder and President of the National Action Network , is reflecting on the first anniversary of the 2022 mass shooting at a Buffalo grocery store that left 10 Black people dead.
Before heading to Buffalo, Sharpton is acknowledging the first anniversary of the shooting at NAN headquarters in Harlem on Saturday at the organization’s weekly rally. He will also address the recent manslaughter charges in the chokehold killing of Jordan Neely. NAN mobilized on the ground immediately after the body armor-clad gunman, who posted a racist tirade online earlier that day, opened fire at the Tops grocery store in the predominantly Black section of Buffalo. The organization also helped cover the funeral cost for all 10 victims, while Rev. Sharpton delivered several eulogies.“We have seen significant changes in the year since Black America was once again the reminded simple acts like grocery shopping can be a death sentence.
Change has indeed come, but the fight for justice for these and other families is far from over. This anniversary comes as the nation tries to make sense of another mass shooting in Texas, where the gunman again spouted white nationalist rhetoric. Hate will only continue to flourish unless we address the root causes, policies, and platforms that foster its growth.
