Description: In this email chronicle, about 50 individuals, most of them strangers to each other, react to the news of a bias incident in their community. In their own spontaneous and unredacted words, they lay bare the best and worst of small-town dynamics—from shock and outrage to suspicion and ridicule; from graphic hate mail to thoughtful meditations on individual and collective responsibility.
