On 7 September 2024, we will host a commemorative screening of a 30-minute film created by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, featuring first-person accounts of the unity, resilience, and hope that defined September 11 and the days and weeks that followed. As we approach the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, we believe that remembering those killed and honoring the first responders and all who raced toward danger to save others is critical to helping a new generation better understand the world in which they live and can inspire them to meet today’s challenges with compassion and unity. Following the screening we will also welcome program participants for a discussion moderated by a Visionary Network Member, alongside our panelists. You are invited to this free event, made possible through a partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and AMC Theaters. Learn more about the event: 911memorial.org
