Top quality work from The Avalon
Project at Yale Law School, with their "September
11, 2001 : Attack on America" section. You'll find a view of
the mechanisms of the U.S. government, as they dealt with September
11, 2001 and its aftereffects. There are U.S. Presidential and
Congressional documents, and key laws passed and proclamations
issued immediately after the attacks; but be sure to browse down
further on the page - there's a treasure trove of documents!

The Sonic Memorial Project,
a wonderful creation of NPR and Lost & Found Sounds, started with a
single phone line that was set up for anyone to record their
thoughts and memories, and to record audio contributions. What they
got was "tapes of weddings atop
the World Trade Center, recordings of the buildings' elevators and
revolving doors, home videos made by a lawyer in his 42nd floor
office, sounds of the Hudson river front, recordings of late night
Spanish radio drifting through the halls as Latino workers clean the
offices, an interview with the piano player at Windows on the World,
video email greetings that tourists sent from the kiosks on the
110th floor, voicemail messages from people who worked in the World
Trade Center." A collaborating website on the project is the
September 11th
Digital Archive, (not to be confused
The September 11th Archive
- another "trove" of info) well worth a visit itself.

miles above the Earth as it traveled at 17,500 miles per hour
through space. Educators for
Social Responsibility offers "ESR's
Suggested
Lessons for Teachers Following the Attacks of September
11th, 2001 and the Bombing of Afghanistan" which wins the Longest

parents and teachers. |
