Teaching 9/11

The National Museum of American History will commemorate the tenth anniversary with an exhibit of objects recovered from the three sites attacked on September 11, 2001 – “Bearing Witness to History: Remembrance and Reflection.” Photographs with commentary on each object are available online as well as text and audio stories from the collection curators. A separate page of educational resources is available for teachers as well as a blog discussing such related issues as whether to teach the events of 9/11 as history or current events.
