Submit ReviewTwenty years later, September 11, 2001 still feels close to us in the Washington region. In this special program from the WAMU newsroom, we bring you the stories of that day, told from voices across our region. We look at how the events of 9/11 changed us in ways we can’t miss, and in ways we barely notice.
We hear how workers at the Pentagon address the trauma of their workplace being attacked. Plus, we explore the rise of Islamophobia and racist hate in the days and years that followed the attacks. We talk with members of the local Afghan community about the legacy of America’s longest war, and we examine how military contractors fighting that war reshaped local neighborhoods. Finally, we look how security practices have changed locally in the last two decades and ask: “Are we safer now?”
