On Friday, June 26, at the funeral of Charleston, South Carolina shooting victim Clementa Pinckney, President Barack Obama closed his moving eulogy for the slain pastor—who was killed along with eight other black congregates at the historic Mother AME Emmanuel Church—by leading the congregation in a rousing rendition of “Amazing Grace.”

Barack Obama delivered a fiery speech, perhaps the most impassioned public speech he's ever given, a speech that touched on the subject of personal responsibility in the black community, at the NAACP's annual meeting last night.
