Love conquers hate in Havertown

No one would have blamed Esther Cohen-Eskin is she had lashed out in anger after finding a disturbing message of hate scrawled on her trash container.

Instead, she lashed out - with a paint brush. In the process, the Havertown woman - along with her neighbors - showed us that there is only one thing that can conquer hate. That would be love.

Cohen-Eskin transformed that symbol of hate into a lovely flower.

Soon her neighbors joined in. The movement took off and was picked up as far away as Canada and Ireland.

And it all started right here in Delaware County.

We salute Cohen-Eskin on today's editorial page.
