In Sunday’s edition, we apologized for the editorial cartoon which appeared in Friday’s edition. What we thought would be perceived as a strong message about a serious issue was, at least among some in the black community, considered an attempt to make light of it. That we are charged with being unaware and insensitive toward our black community on this issue is something we deeply regret. We extend our deepest apologies.
