President Barack Obama just delivered a eulogy for Rev. Clementa Pinckney and the other eight victims of last week’s Charleston shooting at the city’s TD Arena, a powerful tribute to the reverend’s life and work as well as an exploration of the national issues of racism and gun control that the recent tragedy has brought, once again, into the public eye.
