Today, we are partnering with the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York. As you probably already know Saturday is the twentieth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon which resulted in the death of 2,996 people, over 25,000 injuries, and the start of the United States War on Terror.

It also resulted in the War in Afghanistan as well, which has received much attention in the news as of late with the Taliban’s takeover, the bombings of the Kabul airport, and the evacuation of Americans and Europeans from the country.

I was joined on today’s episode to discuss all of this as well as how to best remember 9/11 in our classrooms by the Vice President of Education at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, Megan Jones, and the Assistant Director of Education, Jennifer Lagasse.
