Bernard Powers ’72 is co-authoring We Are Charleston: Tragedy and Triumph at Mother Emanuel. The book is being published by HarperCollins Publishing 6/14 around the one-year anniversary of the Mother Emanuel shooting in Charleston. The book is a multi-layered exploration of the tragic events as well as a deep dive into the “why” this church with a 230 year old history of the AME Church and its role in America’s social justice story from slavery to the civil rights movement to the racial injustices of today.
