Our team has been
"virtually breathless" as it has been assessing the Political Scene
in the United States over the ensuing weeks. As we went to press
with this latest edition of "Notations", though, we were monitoring
reports out of South Carolina with an attack by a gunman at the
Emmanual AME Church in Charleston.
Known as "Mother
Emmanuel", it is the oldest and largest African American Congregations
in the South. A news conference concluded within the past
hour confirmed 9 victims including the Pastor of Mother Emmanuel, State
Senator Rev. Pickney.
The Charleston Police Chief has
noted that this is a hate crime and implored all to come together.
There was also one of the Elders of the Church noting that there will be a
prayer vigil at 12:00 PM EST in Charleston. Our thoughts and prayers
are with the People of Charleston, the victims and their families at this
trying hour. Our team will observe a 24-Hour Moment of
Silence throughout the #Outsider Properties in honor of the fallen and in solidarity
with the people of Charleston.
