The top local story from the KERA today: President Obama's visit to Dallas to join his predecessor, an array of state and local luminaries, and a symphony hall full of law enforcement officers mourning five of their own.
The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center was the focal point of an emotional day -- a day of heartache and hope, of pain and perseverance.
Mayor Mike Rawlings opened the service by talking how those shots pierced the soul of his city.
The centerpiece of the event was a 40-minute address by President Obama – who tapped into a nation’s grief and yet held out for healing.
KERA's reporters check in from inside and outside the Meyerson, and from Love Field airport, where the president and vice president arrived and departed.
And then KERA takes a look back at the day in sound.
