The last of the victims of a gunman's racist attack on a Buffalo supermarket is being memorialized at a service that has become a call to action
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Saturday's funeral for 86-year-old Ruth Whitfield, the oldest and last of the victims of a gunman's racist attack on a Buffalo supermarket to be laid to rest, became a call for action and an emotional plea to end the hate and violence that has wracked the nation.
"We will not allow small people to create fear in our community," she said."We will not be afraid to stand up for what's right, to speak truth even when it may be difficult to hear and speak." Crump said those those who"instructed and radicalized this young, insecure individual" should also be held to account for taking Whitfield from her family, the Buffalo community and the planet. He called her"one of the most angelic figures that we have ever known."
Whitfield was inside the Tops Friendly Market after visiting her husband of 68 years in a nursing home when a gunman identified by police as 18-year-old Payton Gendron began the deadly onslaught.
