The Daviess County Library has announced its participation in “September 11, 2001: The Day That Changed The World,” a downloadable exhibition that presents the history of 9/11, its origins and its ongoing implications through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks.
Told across 14 posters, the exhibition includes archival photographs, images and artifacts from the 9/11 Memorial and Museum’s permanent collection. It explores the consequences of terrorism on individual lives and communities at the local, national and international levels and encourages critical thinking about the legacies of 9/11.
This 9/11 Memorial and Museum-curated exhibition reflects the core pillars of commemoration, education, and inspiration as the nation prepares to observe the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Daviess County Library Director Elizabeth Plotner said she is excited about the opportunity the exhibit provides for the younger generation.
“The most rewarding outcome of the past year has been the renewed partnership between our library and the county schools,” she said. “We hope this exhibit is just one more opportunity for our community to support our next generation.”
The poster exhibition was developed by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy Demands Wisdom.
