This heartbreaking event took the lives of nine members of a Bible study group during their routine weekly gathering.<\/p>\n<h3>Remembering the &#8220;Emanuel Nine&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>On June 23, the church will host a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/remembering-the-mother-emanuel-nine-eight-years-after-charleston-mass-shooting\/\" title=\"Honoring the Mother Emanuel Nine, 8 years later.\">special humanitarian awards program<\/a> in memory of the nine victims who tragically lost their lives on June 17, 2015. These victims, affectionately known as the &#8220;Emanuel Nine,&#8221; will forever be remembered for their unwavering faith and dedication. Additionally, the church plans to break ground on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/police-memorial-to-13-u-s-service-members-killed-in-kabul-terror-attack-vandalized\/\" title=\"Police: Memorial to 13 U.S. Service Members Killed In Kabul Terror Attack Vandalized\">memorial honoring<\/a> these individuals later this year. In a touching ceremony held on Saturday, a Freedom Memorial Garden was opened to honor Susie Jackson, one of the victims.<\/p>\n<h2>Sen. Tim Scott Reflects on the Shooting<\/h2>\n<p>During the South Carolina Republican Convention in March, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) took a moment to reflect on the immediate aftermath of the shooting. He highlighted the support he received from then-Rep. Tusli Gabbard, a Democrat, who flew all the way from Hawaii to show her solidarity. This powerful display of unity transcended party lines and showcased the resilience of the Charleston community.<\/p>\n<h3>Justice Served<\/h3>\n<p>In 2021, the Department of Justice made amends by paying a total of $88 million to the victims and their families. This compensation included $63 million for the families of the nine people killed and an additional $25 million for the five survivors who were present inside the church during the shooting. The payment was a result of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-reaches-88m-settlement-in-2015-charleston-church-shooting\/\" title=\"DOJ reaches M settlement in 2015 Charleston church shooting\">faulty background check<\/a> that allowed the shooter to obtain the gun used in this heinous act, which was rightfully classified as a hate crime.<\/p>\n<p>The perpetrator, Dylann Roof, who was 21 years old at the time of the killings, was ultimately convicted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-court-is-fast-tracking-sidney-powells-request-for-a-forensic-exam-of-dominion-voting-machines\/\" title=\"Federal Court Is Fast-Tracking Sidney Powell\u2019s Request For A Forensic Exam Of Dominion Voting Machines\">federal court<\/a> and sentenced to death in 2017.
