Influential Origins | Ep. 711: Kim Keiserman, Teaching History After 9/11, Part 2 | HMTC
Kim Keiserman had lived in Port Washington for only two months when September 11 changed her new community forever.
In Part 2 of Influential Origins, host Alan Mindel continues his conversation with Kim about moving from the South to New York, embracing cultural and religious diversity, and finding a home in Port Washington’s vibrant civic life.
Kim recalls starting a new teaching position two days before the attacks and discovering her community through grief, first responders, and families whose lives were permanently changed. Alan shares the story of firefighter and musician Christopher Pickford, who died after running into the second tower.
Their conversation asks how schools should teach September 11 and other difficult histories. Kim advocates rigorous, age-appropriate instruction centered on facts, courage, and multiple perspectives while rejecting victim-blaming and collective blame. She explains how media literacy, critical thinking, project-based learning, and respectful collaboration can help students recognize misinformation, resist hatred, and translate historical understanding into civic responsibility.
