Bridge to Unity

Tonight I am grateful… blessed to be part of a loving, caring community which has come together…as it always has… in support of those who have lead and are leading this Charleston community… our state, our world, by grace.

The Unity Walk was organized in support of the good folks of Mother Emmanuel AME Church in historic downtown Charleston, SC. What started as a ripple in the community turned into a tidal wave of folks who came out in support.

Folks walked peacefully…joyfully…Flags were flown, boats gathered below the bridge…one flying a creative banner of support. Across the harbor the downtown church steeples rose… one could view Mother Emmanuel through the hot humid evening. A gentleman sat quietly playing his harmonica . . . the tune? Amazing Grace! Hymns were sung… the peace sign dramatically displayed to those who passed by in their cars… horns honked!!!!! Hugs were given…Hearts were full…

Appropriately, the crescent moon, high in the evening sky shone brightly . . . ~Grace, don’t you think?

Let it be said: It was a good day!
