centuries of bondage and disrespect?
• Among the survivors of the shooting, it troubles some that the world has come to speak of ‘the Emanuel Nine’.
• “I forgive you.” Those three words reverberated through the courtroom and across the cable wires, down the
fiber-optic lines, carried by invisible storms of ones and zeros that fill the air from cell tower to cell tower and
