“Due to the Circumstances of Today”: The U.S. House of Representatives Remembers September 11, 2001
http://oralhistory.clerk.house.gov/historic-events/september-11/
As part of its ongoing oral history program, the Office of the Historian, U.S. House of Representatives, unveiled a new project commemorating the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. This event-based oral history compilation features eyewitness accounts from former Representatives, House officials, and employees about 9/11 and the day’s subsequent effect on the institution. “Due to the Circumstances of Today”—the quotation used in the title of this project—was the language inserted into the Congressional Record to explain the emergency recess on the morning of September 11th.
Divided into four broad themes—September 11, 2001, Reaction and Response, Security and Safety, and In Retrospect—the Web site includes video and audio clips of interviewees reflecting on their personal experiences of that tragic day and the weeks and months that followed. Also included on the Web site is a compilation video, “September 11, 2001: A Narrative,” of unique perspectives from the House on 9/11, a series of images and artifacts related to the history of the House and the attacks, a timeline of the day’s events, and a contribution form for those who worked at the House on 9/11 and would like to share their experiences.
