Today marks the second anniversary of the racially motivated mass shooting at the Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York, where a white supremacist killed ten Black Americans and injured three others. The attack, which has been compared to a 'modern-day lynching,' was fueled by extremist ideologies, including the Great Replacement Theory. The victims, including Celestine Chaney, Roberta A. Drury, Andre Mackniel, Katherine Massey, Margus D. Morrison, Heyward Patterson, Aaron Salter, Geraldine Talley, Ruth Whitfield, and Pearl Young, are being remembered by their families, the Buffalo community, and leaders across the nation. President Biden and other officials have reiterated calls for stronger gun control measures, particularly against AR-15 style rifles, and efforts to combat hate and extremism continue to resonate as the community grieves and seeks justice.
