President Obama Sings ‘Amazing Grace’ At Funeral For Rev. Clementa Pinckney [VIDEO]

President Barack Obama delivered a touching eulogy for his late friend, Rev. Clementa Pinckney, and closed by leading the crowd in singing 'Amazing Grace.'

His eulogy was emotional, and at the end of the powerful hymn he mentioned all of the other victims names: Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Cynthia Hurd, Tywanza Sanders, Myra Thompson, Ethel Lee Lance, Rev. Daniel L. Simmons, Rev. Depayne Middleton-Doctor and Susie Jackson—saying they had "found grace."

Those names identified the victims killed by accused mass shooter, Dylann Roof, who is believed to have had racist motivation behind the killings. Obama said his actions "raised questions about a dark part of our history" and mentioned how things like the Confederate flag were "a reminder of systemic oppression and racial subjugation."

I must agree with Obama saying that taking down a flag doesn't mean racism and hatred is gone, but it is a start.
