2. LT Wynn ‏@Pubhistorian African Americans have faced domestic terrorism since their arrival in what became America!

2. Greg Carr ‏@AfricanaCarr  Heartsick. New Ancestors, their love met with death. More African martyrs in this ongoing crime against humanity. #CharlestionShooting
3. Greg Carr ‏@AfricanaCarr What would our Ancestors do? What would Africans who fomented Vesey's rebellion do? What must we do to stop this war? #CharlestionShooting
5. Greg Carr ‏@AfricanaCarr This may have been the act of an individual, but the #CharlestonShooting is the result of this country's structural hatred of Africans.
6. Greg Carr ‏@AfricanaCarr To take the lives of more Africans, near the anniversary of the Vesey rebellion, at that church, at a prayer meeting. #CharlestonShooting
7. Greg Carr ‏@AfricanaCarr This was Denmark Vesey's church. A sacred space we Africans all visit in South Carolina. This is a test of our will. #CharlestonShooting
