Vice President Kamala Harris visited Buffalo on Saturday and attended the funeral of Ruth Whitfield, who died in the May 14 mass shooting at Tops Market.
The service was at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Buffalo.
She addressed mourners at the insistence of Rev. Al Sharpton, and said this is a moment in time for “all good people” to stand up to the injustice that happened at the Tops Friendly Market on May 14, as well as the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and other mass shootings.
Ten people were killed and three more wounded in the Tops mass shooting.
“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.”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand were also in attendance on Saturday.
