Memorial for Nine Opens in Charleston | Columbia News

A powerful new memorial honoring the nine lives lost at Mother Emanuel AME Church opens this fall, designed by Michael Arad of the 9/11 Memorial fame — featuring the Fountain of Grace, Fellowship Benches, and Cross of Hope — inviting visitors to reflect, heal, and remember. Set beside the historic church at 110 Calhoun St., it arrives nearly 11 years after the tragedy of June 26, as the community continues its journey toward resilience.
