Do you remember what you were doing on September 1? I do. I was sitting here in the newsroom, overseeing our coverage of the massive story Hurricane Katrina had turned out to be... when we got word there was something extraordinary going on at the Convention Center in New Orleans. The pictures started coming in... and for well over an hour, I watched an unedited feed of the faces and cries of poor, hungry and angry people wondering why their government had, in their eyes, left them to die. Those images affected us greatly; they're one of the many reasons we continue to cover the impact of the 2005 hurricane season, and Katrina in particular, as intensely as we do. In a strange way, they also helped inspire the new series we're launching tonight called "Making a Difference."
