THE WOMEN OF CHARLESTON
A roaring applause and a standing ovation greeted the women of Charleston. These women have all lost loved ones at the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. It was a powerful moment seeing Nadine Collier, Polly Sheppard, Alana Simmons, and Felicia Sanders appear on stage not only proud, but also forgiving.
"Hate won't win." - Alana Simmons
"Forgiveness is powerful." - Nadine Collier
"We all represent a different race, different orientation, or even a different class... But that does not give anyone the right to murder us... Thank you Glamour for honoring us everyday women..." - Alana Simmons
"We forgive."
