In the midst of all the racial tension in this country, the church home is suppose to be a place where you’re able to detach yourself from the hate of the world in which we live in.
However, nine different families are mourning the deaths of loved ones.
Chris Singleton is one of those individuals in mourning tonight, as his mother, Sharonda Coleman-Singleton was one of the nine individuals murdered inside Emanuel AME Church.

Chris is a sophomore baseball player at Charleston Southern University.
“We are especially mourning the loss of Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, the mother of rising sophomore Chris Singleton,” said President Jairy C. Hunter Jr. “Chris is a member of our baseball team. The CSU family is praying for Chris and his family during this painful time. CSU coaches and campus ministers are assisting the Singleton family as they deal with this tragedy.”
Head coach Stuart Lake will surely miss Sharonda’s presence in the bleachers.
“Chris’s mother was just that parent that as a coach you are proud to have as part of your program. What she brought to our team is immeasurable,” said Lake.
As a country, something has to be done about this racial tension and ability to access guns so easily.
