Vice President Kamala Harris is in Buffalo Saturday for the memorial service of Ruth Whitfield, a victim of the Buffalo mass shooting that left 10 dead. She is joined by Gov. Kathy Hochul and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

The service not only honored Whitfield’s life, it also served as a platform addressing the conscience of America that the same gun violence and dangerous mentalities that led to tragedies in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas need to be addressed not as a political issue, but as a concern of humanity.

Harris attended the service and although she initially did not plan to speak, she expressed solidarity not only with the city of Buffalo, but with all lives lost to hatred and racism. Leaders called both racial hatred and gun violence epidemics, with Harris saying the cure to the latter already exists, and it lies in gun reform.

Whitfield's repass was held at Durham Memorial AME Zion Church, the same church she devoted many years of her life to as a member of the congregation.
