Library display highlights Sept. 11, 2001
East Oregonian
ATHENA — The Athena Public
Library, 418 Main St., is hosting an
educational display that presents the
history of 9/11, its origins, and its
ongoing implications.
“September 11, 2001: The Day
That Changed the World” features
the personal stories of those who
witnessed and survived the attacks.
Told across 14 posters, the exhibi-
tion includes archival photographs
and images of artifacts from the 9/11
Memorial & Museum’s permanent
collection. It explores the conse-
quences of terrorism on individual
lives and communities at the local,
national, and international levels, and
encourages critical thinking about
the legacies of 9/11.
The library will host the exhibit
throughout the month of September.
Library Director Kristin Williams
said arrangements have been made
with Weston Middle School teachers
to have groups of students come to
the library to view the exhibit as part
of their instruction about that day.
“Those of us who remember Sept.
11 have a duty to help the genera-
tions that come after us remember
the horror and bravery of that day,”
Williams said. “ I’m proud that the
library can be a part of that.”
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum
curated exhibition reflects the core
pillars of commemoration, educa-
tion and inspiration leading up to the
20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The poster exhibition has been made
possible in part by the National
Endowment for the Humanities:
Democracy Demands Wisdom.
“During this 20th anniversary
year, it is our privilege to share these
lessons with a new generation, teach
them about the ongoing repercussions
of the 9/11 attacks and inspire them
with the idea that, even in the dark-
est of times, we can come together,
support one another and find the
strength to renew and rebuild,” said
9/11 Memorial & Museum President
and CEO Alice M. Greenwald.
