9/11: When Memory Becomes History

9/11: When Memory Becomes History

Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, the events of that day are beginning to pass from living memory into history.

For those of us who remember where we were, what we saw, and how the world changed afterward, 9/11 is still deeply personal. But an entire generation has now grown up knowing it only through photographs, video, classrooms, memorials, and the stories of people who were there.

In this video, I reflect on what it means when something we lived through becomes something future generations will study — and on the responsibility we have to remember the people who were lost without allowing memory to become myth, spectacle, or political shorthand.

This is not a video about reliving the horror of that day. It is about memory, history, grief, and the passage of time.

Twenty-five years later, we remember.
