Obama eulogizes Clementa Pinckney after Charleston church massacre

President Barack Obama delivers the eulogy for Rev. Clementa Pinckney on June 26, 2015, after a white supremacist killed nine Black worshippers at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. Obama names the attack as part of a history of racial violence and calls for moral and political reckoning. The eulogy becomes nationally remembered when Obama leads mourners in singing "Amazing Grace." The massacre also accelerates campaigns to remove Confederate symbols from public spaces. A presidential speech connects a modern hate crime to the longer history of white supremacy, Black church life, and Confederate memory.
