Today, we remember the lives stolen on 5/14 and stand with the families, survivors, and members of the East Side community still carrying this pain every day.
Four years ago, a racist terrorist came to Buffalo and targeted innocent Black Buffalonians at the Tops on Jefferson Avenue.
We say their names and honor their lives:
Celestine Chaney
Roberta Drury
Andre Mackniel
Katherine Massey
Margus Morrison
Heyward Patterson
Aaron Salter Jr.
Geraldine Talley
Ruth Whitfield
Pearl Young
Buffalo will never forget them. And Buffalo will never let hate define who we are.
May we continue to build a Buffalo rooted in compassion, unity, and justice.
