The Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York, was the site where a gunman killed 10 people in an act of racism two months ago. The gunman is now facing 27 counts, including federal hate crime charges.

Community members are now asking for substantial changes beyond the reopening of a place that is still the source of so much pain and trauma.

Here & Now's Tonya Mosley talks with Buffalo's first poet laureate Jillian Hanesworth for more about the reopening.

This segment aired on July 15, 2022.
