In this recording, John Jay Teaching & Learning Center Director Gina Rae Foster reads an original poem commemorating the legacy of 9/11. Written in 2019 at the invitation of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, the poem explores the connections between the experiences of that day and our memories and assumptions now as we continue to grieve and to work with our students to develop more responsive and empathetic lives.
