Excerpt:
Remembering the heroes and inspiring people moved to action on the horrible events of Sept. 11 is a job for the ages. We missed being your beacon for honoring them in print as we should.
Our main story reporting how local Muslims were sheltered from some of the hatred after 9/11 was an important story to share, but it should not have been the main story Wednesday or run on a different day. Many of you complained that we missed the mark, and the reaction is easy to understand.
One of our missions is to anticipate times to focus on reflection and celebration, to be a centerpiece for starting your day. Picking some of those moments is not easy, but 9/11 certainly deserves a more deliberate and forceful approach.
