4 years ago today Payton Gendron massacred Black shoppers in Buffalo at Tops Supermarket.

Solemn ceremony in Buffalo to remember those who died. Speakers included the mayor and Governor Hochul.

10 people were murdered. 3 were injured.

so she went out to the store, and she never made it home. The killer drove hours to get there to maximize the black death toll.

RIP

She was a community activist. She had successfully lobbied the city government to create a small park where children could play, do homework, and socialize. She also did gardening in her yard.

Today volunteers and family gathered at the park to clean up debris from the winter and plant flowers in her honor.
