September 11, 2001
Beverly Eckert's husband was killed by the 9/11 attacks. Rather than $1.8 million for the death of her husband from the 9-11/Compensation fund, she instead pursued justice in the US legal system. In a moving editorial she wrote “I say to Congress, big business, and everyone who conspired to divert attention from government and private sector failures: My husband’s life was priceless, and I will not let his death be meaningless. My silence cannot be bought.”[1]
