Time warp
Where's that clue bat when you need it?
I can see how someone might have copied the homepage hed (above) from the story itself without engaging the part of brain that wonders about such things. What strikes me as odd is how the same person who wrote the deck -- "Families gather at the white church where their ancestors, once slaves, were members" -- could also have written the main hed, "Ancestors of slaves and slave masters reunite today at Bethel Presbyterian Church."

It's pretty astonishing how many people never relate one sentence they've written to the next one (or the preceding one).
