The racist attack in Buffalo, New York, Saturday is horrific. Fueled by hate, 10 innocent people were murdered and 3 others shot in an attack that can only be described as pure evil.

This massacre is forever marked as one of the deadliest racist attacks in recent American history and we must stand united against hate to eradicate the senseless violence being committed in our communities.
