Summary
“In Their Honor: 25 Years of 9/11 Inspired Service” opened at New York’s 9/11 Memorial and Museum as the U.S. approaches the attacks’ 25th anniversary.
Nearly 100 million Americans were not born or are too young to remember Sept. 11, pushing the museum to frame the anniversary as a teaching moment for a new generation.
The exhibit focuses on how people and communities turned grief into service after the attacks, tracing effects across the country and abroad.
A second installation, “Our Flag Was Still There,” highlights American flags and other objects as symbols of resilience, unity and the “spirit of 9/12.”
Grades 3 through 12 will also get on-site and virtual field trips as the museum expands efforts to preserve 9/11’s stories, lessons and legacy for future generations.
