FOOTPRINT ON AMERICA
_Pacifica Radio Network 911 Memorial Special
New York, Washington DC, Houston, Los Angeles, Berkeley) When terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 precious lives were lost forever and the sense of security Americans enjoyed in their homeland – was completely shattered. A decade later Pacifica Radio and Democracy Now ! will examine “911′s Footprint on America”: who have we become because of it – as individuals and as a society.
Through the words of the people who lost their loved ones, who fought the flames at ground zero, who sustained life altering injuries and who suffered the consequences of being a Muslim American, we’ll hear firsthand how America and her people have evolved in spite of the terror inflicted upon them.
“At times of historic change, tragedy or rebirth, Pacifica Radio is the media equipped to bring the human story. The sincerity of these narratives – whether given by leading intellectuals or by the person on the street – gives me chills” said Pacifica Executive Director Arlene Engelhardt.
The memorial broadcast will begin, the way Sept. 11, 2001 began for Pacifica listeners with Democracy Now! broadcasting `live’ from New York, only a few blocks away from where the planes hit the towers. Amy Goodman will take us back to that ill fated day with actual sound gathered on the scene as well as her own personal recollections.
Throughout the day WBAI reporters will speak to us from locations throughout New York including Ground Zero, the site for the controversial Islamic educational and cultural center and other major events around the city as they occur.
Voices of the thinkers and the intellectuals who have navigated us through this crisis over the last decade like Gore Vidal, Dr. Cornel West, the late Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky and Tariq Ali will be provided by Pacifica Archives Director Brian DeShazer. Most importantly this commemorative broadcast will include the perspectives of the artists, the poets, the grassroots activists and average citizens.
