Last week my colleague Emily Clark and I both wrote about the Emanuel AME attack for public audiences – make sure to check out Emily’s powerful piece, “A Violent Act in the Name of White Supremacy.” Today we reflect on it again, together. See “Writing about Charleston” on the Religion in American History blog.

Sanctuaries like Charleston’s AME Church aren’t just places of worship—they’re political institutions that threaten white power.
