September 11, 2001: The Day that Changed the World - Exhibition
September 02, 2021The Sadie Pope Dowdell Library is pleased to announce that they have received limited edition posters from the National Endowment for the Humanities commemorating the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The special exhibition features archival photographs and images of artifacts from the Museum's permanent collection. "Twenty years after the attacks, with terrorism still a threat today, the events of 9/11 and its aftermath remind us that we may never be able to prevent all the actions of people intent on harming others, but we do have control over how we respond to such events. Whether by volunteering in our local communities, serving our nation in the military, caring for the sick, or through other efforts, all of us can help build the world in which we want to live. As we witness history unfolding in our own time, the ways we choose to respond—both large and small—can demonstrate the best of human nature after even the worst of days." 9/11 Memorial and Museum: www.911 memorial.org.
