Before You Go: Return To Buffalo

Before You Go first interviewed Mother Doyle days after the terrorist attack where an 18 year-old white supremacist dressed in tactical gear fatally wounded 10 people in his mission to kill all the Black people he could. Mother Doyle does her usual grocery run on Saturdays at 2pm. She would have been there had she not gone to pick up her dry cleaning that afternoon. Unfortunately her friend and writing colleague Kat Massey was shopping that day and became victim to this horrific tragedy.

Mother Doyle is a columnist of 44 years for the city's oldest Black newspaper, The Buffalo Criterion, founded in 1924. She gives us the latest update that includes discussions around a permanent memorial, delayed distributions of millions in donations, the return of Tops and the neighborhood's plans moving forward.
