The nine Black churchgoers who were gunned down by a white supremacist in Charleston, S.C., will be honored by a new memorial on the church grounds.
The Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church announced the plans for the memorial on the two-year anniversary of the tragedy.
Michael Arad, partner at Handel Architects of New York, N.Y., will design the memorial. Arad, a native of Israel, also designed the National September 11 Memorial in New York City.
