An impassioned President Barack Obama led thousands of mourners in singing "Amazing Grace" on Friday at the funeral of a slain pastor in Charleston.
In the eulogy, Obama paid an emotional tribute to the nine people shot and killed at the church and pleaded for Americans to use the tragedy as a way to bridge racial divide.
The shootings last week intensified the recent national dialogue regarding racial relations.
Breaking a moment of silence, Obama began to sing the 18th century hymn, written by a former slave trader after his conversion to Christianity.
It was a poignant scene for America's first black president.
