Title A name given to the resource "September 11: Bearing Witness to History" Stories Submitted Online Description An account of the resource Visitors to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's, "Bearing Witness to History" online exhibition submitted these reflections beginning in 2002. NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I woke up that morning and there was a building on t.v. with fire and smoke spilling out the sides. Being almost fully asleep I had no idea what the building was. As I watched I saw it was the Twin Towers and that terrorists had run a plane into one of them, then I saw them jam a second plane into the remaining tower. My reaction was blunt because I was tired, I knew they did it for some kind of reason, but with sleep on my mind I would have to find out what the reason was later. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life hasn't changed really, only my hunger for the truth. The media makes it sound like America is 100 percent innocent. However, we were the ones that wanted to run a gas line through Afghanistan and not share any of the gas. And just like America, Afghanistan has terrorists too, they were bound to unleash their plans sooner or later, what better time than now? NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think we should remember that there is evil out in our world, in every country, and we should do what we can to stop it. The people need to know that by leaveing it up to the people in the N.Y.P.D the problems wont be fixed. E.g. officers in the N.Y.P.D are trying to get people like Alex Sanchez deported for belonging to an organization called Homies Unidos because they help to get drugs off the streets, kids out of gangs, and settle gang rivalries. Officers don't like this because without gangs and criminals they have no one to frame for their illegal doings, no one to harass, and nothing to do. So September 11th is a reminder that we need to stand up and take the power back! NMAH Story: Flag Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September 11th? No I did not fly an American flag after September 11th. Both America and Afghanistan did wrong, to take sides is stupid. Someone might say, "Well what about all the innocent people that died on September 11th?" Well what about all the innocent people that were murderd by the Americans at war? So you see, both sides are wrong. As far as my feelings toward the American flag go, they haven't changed. It's still just a symbol for a country that is falling apart. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
