September 11th Anniversary

In class we talked some about the memory of September 11th and how it is used or percieved in America today. (B day, we will be spending some time on this Monday as well). For those of you that were interested, this is the article that we didn't quite get to discussing, and there are some other great stories, pictures, and videos on that site.

I was impressed by your desire to know more about the causes of September 11th--to go beyond the memory of the loss and to investigate what Nile described as the "before and after" of the event. I will try to incorporate more of that contemporary into class this year as a result.
