Title

427.pjpeg

Description

The remaining section of 1 World Trade Center, November 5, 2001. Right after I took this photo, my friend and I (American, Christian women) struck up a conversation with two Muslim men from the Middle East. It was an amazing experience to be able to talk about the differences in our religions and beliefs and customs, and their hopes for starting an import business. It was a discussion of world trade and the exchange of ideas without precipitating any desire for us to destroy the other. We took each others' pictures with this view in the background. And just for a second I could see Ground Zero as a place for hope as well as a place of horror.
