BOSTON – Since 9/11 Muslims across the U.S. have struggled against stereotypes and racism. Boston is home to the second-largest Islamic Center on the East Coast. Josh Mahoney has the story of the center and its efforts to inform non-Muslims about their religion.
Special Section: Marathon 2013
Before tragedy struck, the 117th Boston Marathon was full of the usual cheer and goodwill.
We published this special section to tell the stories of inspirational athletes from all over the world; the volunteers, the crowd that cheers, the father who pushes his quadriplegic son year after year, for a blind man who ran while tied to another runner, and for soldiers marching through the race with weight of the world on their backs.
Sadly, these stories were buried beneath the dramatic coverage of the bombings.
We include them with this archive of the disaster coverage as a tribute to those with the will to triumph over the odds.
