Beauty From Ashes
September 11th 2001 is one of the darkest days in not only American history, but the history of humanity as a whole. It was a day when the enemy lit up our skies with fire and we were left with a rubble of dust and ashes. At the same time 9/11 was one of the most defining moments in world history in which we found beauty in these ashes we were left with. Some of the most inspirational stories you will ever hear are the stories of good that rose from the ashes of September 11th 2001 and how we became a better world.

Hollywood 9/11
The attacks of September 11th 2001 brought the entire world to its knees. 9/11 didn’t just effect the paths of politics, military and of course civilian life, but also the world of celebrity. Yes, it’s true, 9/11 effected the hemisphere of Hollywood just as much as it did the rest of the world.

Tuesday Youth
If someone were to ask what was the most heart wrenching effect of September 11th 2001 it wouldn’t be far fetched to mention the children who were directly impacted. Thousands of children lost their parents in the attacks of September 11th and a handful of children actually lost their lives. Take a minute to look through the young eyes of the children who had the worse seat in the house on September 11th 2001.

Islam 9/11
The 9/11 attacks rocked the entire planet to the point of making everyone take a closer look at life and everyone living it. For some this meant appreciating our neighbors more. For others this meant seeing your fellow neighbor with eyes of hatred. The group of people who were caught in the eyesight of that hatred was the Islamic community.

9/11 Stairclimb 2024
I woke up this morning at 5:45 a.m. For the past four years I have considered this Saturday to be one of the most important Saturdays ever. This first Saturday of September is always the day my hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina hosts the event known as the 9/11 Stairclimb. This event is actually held in many cities across the country. They’re meant to commemorate the rescue workers who gave their lives saving lives on the morning of 9/11.

9/11 Beyond
If someone were to ask you how many people died as a result of the 9/11 attacks what would you say? If you have even the most basic sense of history about September 11th 2001 then you would likely say that around 3,000 people were killed as a result of the attacks, but the truth is nearly 10,000 people have perished as a result of the September 11th attacks.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Tyler Creek Apartments. September 11th 2001. Joe wakes up to a bright sunny morning and climbs out of his bed. From across the room his sister Rudy also gets out of bed and starts getting ready for school. “Joe! Rudy!” Their mother Ruby called out. “It’s time for school”. “Yes ma’am. We gettin’ ready” Rudy responded. After Joe finished getting dressed he went into the kitchen to get his lunch and headed out the door.
