During the month of September, OFPL recounts the events of September 11th, 2001, through an educational exhibit displaying personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks.
Told across 14 posters, this exhibition includes archival photographs and images of artifacts from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s permanent collection. This 9/11 Memorial & Museum curated exhibition reflects the core pillars of commemoration, education, and inspiration as we prepare to observe the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy Demands Wisdom.
