MID-HUDSON – To honor the lives of those 10 African Americans killed by a white supremacist at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, the chair is encouraging people to join their stores in a collective moment of tribute and reflection at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, seven days after the tragic event that also left three people injured.

The moment of reflection will include Hudson Valley stores in Rhinebeck, Carmel, Lagrangeville, and New Paltz.
