'We're celebrating, not how she died, but how she lived': The Emanuel Nine part 1

Tying It Together with Tim Boyum

It’s been 10 years since the Mother Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston. It happened on June 17, 2015.

With the victim’s brother, Spectrum News 1’s Tim Boyum returned to Charleston to visit the church. Although much is different, the pain remains.

"I miss her. But we're celebrating, not how she died, but how she lived," Malcolm Graham said. His sister, Cynthia was one of the nine murdered in the church basement. Boyum and Graham walked around Charleston, visiting the church, a library where his sister was a library and a Charlotte bookstore.

Malcolm is a member of the Charlotte City Council and author of a new book. He’s dedicated himself to keeping his sister’s memory and spirit alive.

Tim also spoke to the church’s pastor, who was called in to help the congregation recover.
