Buffalo was originally named New Amsterdam, its name was soon changed to Buffalo in 1797. Buffalo is the second-largest city in the state of New York. The City of Buffalo and nearby City of Niagara Falls together supports the local New York state economy next to the Canadian border with Southern Ontario.
Buffalo has several nicknames: Queen City, City of Good Neighbors, City of No Illusions, Nickel City, Queen City of the Lakes, City of Light, and City of Trees.
On Saturday, May 14, 2022, a gunman opened fire in a Tops Friendly Market supermarket in the City of Buffalo. Buffalo, the “City of Good Neighbors” experienced a “community’s worst nightmare”, says Mayor Byron Brown.
On Saturday afternoon, a white gunman in body armor killed 10 Black shoppers and workers at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. Another Black person and two white people were wounded. The gunman opened fire at around 2:30 p.m. Saturday outside Tops Friendly Market, a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood in the western New York city.
The mayor said “It was straight-up, racially motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community, outside of the city of good neighbors.” He said the community is “hurting and seething” in the wake of a shooting that killed ten people.
Local police is calling this a racially motivated hate crime. This crime was not committed by a local Buffalo resident, but by the suspected shooter, a self-described white supremacist, name Payton Gendron, 18, who drove more than 200 miles from Conklin, New York to carry out the attack, who is now in custody, police say.
Speaking at the National Peace Officers’ Memorial service at the U.S. Capitol, President Joe Biden said, “We must all work together to address the hate that remains a stain on the soul of America”. The President and First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden are going to visit Buffalo on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 to “grieve with the community”.
Freedom seekers made their way north to Buffalo during the 1830s and 1840s. Buffalo was a terminus of the Underground Railroad, with many free Blacks crossing the Niagara River to Fort Erie, Ontario while others remained in Buffalo. These former enslaved African Americans were soon integrated into the workforce of Buffalo, with many working at the port.
