OAKLAND, Calif. - eMusicWire -- A very special, powerful concert by AfterGlow Chorus will honor and commemorate the heart-breaking, inspirational events at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, SC in June 2015. On June 17, 2015, a white racist man murdered nine church members at the end of their weekly Bible study as they began their prayer.
"Love Is Stronger Than Hate: Remembering Charleston 2015" will be performed on Sunday, August 6th at First Presbyterian Church in Oakland, CA, and again on August 13th at Church of All Faiths in Oakland.
This concert program is inspired by Chris Singleton's incredible story and message that "Love Is Stronger Than Hate." Chris's mother Sharonda Coleman-Singleton was one of the nine people murdered during the closing prayer of a Bible study at Mother Emanuel Church. The day after his mother's murder, Chris Singleton attended a vigil where he spontaneously forgave the killer.
