Title A name given to the resource Library of Congress Stories Description An account of the resource A collection of more than 200 user-submitted stories gathered from the Library of Congress's "Witness and Response" exhibition staged in 2002. LC Story LC Story: Story Where were you on September 11, 2001 when you heard the news? (Please share your experience of learning of the events and what you did afterwards.) I was at work in Long Island when I heard of the first plane hitting the towers. I immediately called my boyfriend at our Brklyn apartment, who hadn't left for work yet to tell him the news and to beg him not to go to work, which was not far from the World Trade Center. Like most people I've spoken to, at first I thought it was all a big accident involving a small commuter plane. Once the second plane hit, however, I knew something deadly was happening. LC Story: Memory What is your strongest memory of that day? My strongest memory of that day was watching the families on television searching for their loved ones who worked in the Towers. Watching them plead for any information knowing deep down that chances were their loved ones were dead, will stay in my mind forever. LC Story: Affects How do you perceive that the events of September 11, 2001 have affected this country and/or you personally? Personally, I will never be as trusting of certain people (races) as I used to be. Everytime I see a Middle Eastern person on the street I can't help but wonder what they're up to. Re: our country, it is crucial to understand that we live in a different world since September 11. The events of that day were a wake up call to this country, as well as to the rest of the world, that there are people like Osama Bin Laden out there who hate the U.S. and all Western civilization. Enough to try to destroy us and life as we know it. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
