Letters: Emanuel nine families deserved ‘Time’ honor

tdominick@thestate.com

Time magazine should have named the families of the Emanuel nine to its list of 100 most influential people. They taught the nation how to love and forgive under the most horrific of circumstances. If only our politicians could learn from their example and listen to their still, small voices of calm. Oh, what a different world this would be.
