Good morning.

Joe Biden said yesterday that white supremacy has no place in America" after three people were killed in a racist shooting in Florida and it emerged that the gunman had been turned away from a historically Black college or university (HBCU) campus moments before opening fire at a discount store.

Who were the victims? TK Waters, the sheriff of Jacksonville, on Sunday afternoon named the victims, saying the gunman was caught on video shooting Angela Michelle Carr, 52, in her car outside the Dollar General. The gunman then entered the store where he shot Anolt Joseph AJ" Laguerre Jr, 19, and Jerrald De'Shaun Gallion, 29.

How are the community of Jacksonville coping? The shooting has traumatized a historically Black neighborhood in Jacksonville. Our hearts are broken," the Rev Willie Barnes told about 100 congregants Sunday morning. If any of you are like me, I'm fighting trying to not be angry."

What did Yolanda Renee King, 15, the only grandchild of the civil rights leader, say? She said that if she could talk to her grandfather today, she would apologise. I would say I'm sorry we still have to be here to rededicate ourselves to finishing your work and ultimately realizing your dream. Today, racism is still with us. Poverty is still with us. And now, gun violence has come for places of worship, our schools and our shopping centers."

What else happened 60 years ago at the Lincoln Memorial? Martin Luther King Jr changed America that day. But there was more to the day than just his I have a dream" speech. There was music too.
