One year later, the Buffalo community is reflecting on the emotional and socioeconomic remedies needed to heal after the Tops grocery store shooting.
It's been one year since nurse Trinetta Alston held the hands of survivors of the Top's grocery store massacre, and today, she's still holding those hands.
"Some of them who originally said they were fine have actually spoken out and said they actually, were not fine. Anxieties are setting in now, with the anniversary coming up," an anxiety Alston says they can't forget thanks to constant news coverage. According to the Anti-Defamation League, in 2022, 21 of the 25 domestic extremist-related murders were linked to white supremacists.Nearly half of those murders happened that day in Buffalo, with the shooter admitting to killing the victims because they were Black. It's especially traumatizing for residents and Black first responders, who Ansari says were often forgotten after the tragedy, caught in between two worlds.
"We had George Floyd, we had COVID, two blizzards that killed us, and slaughtered and massacred in a supermarket. Think about the impact that has had on a community of color — all within three years," reflected Ansari.
