The families of the victims and the community in Charleston have been so incredibly gracious in the face of terrible tragedy.
They haven't given Dylann Roof the race war he sought; they've done just the opposite and focused on unity, honoring the victims, and pushing for criminal justice.
I don't know if I could have looked my family member's killer in the eyes and offered forgiveness so quickly, but I respect and admire that these families could.
