SPARTANBURG, S.C. – "My paintings are testimonies to the nine who were slain. But I also record another moment; out state’s greatest moment… a response that moved us from tragedy to redemption. For one shining moment, we looked at each other not as different races, but as human beings."
Those are the words of Dr. Leo Twiggs, a renowned South Carolina artist who created "Requiem For Mother Emanuel," a series of nine paintings created in the aftermath of last year’s horrific murders at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston.
The six Panthers captains were exposed to those words and those paintings on Monday afternoon.
