9/11 Panel and Discussion: Hope and Healing

September 8, 2019 by Denise Courter

 

9/11 Panel and Discussion: Hope and Healing

 

Please join Lower Manhattan residents and New Yorker’s for an evening of hope, healing, storytelling and connecting on Sunday, September 8th.

Eighteen years after the day that changed the world forever come the stories of 9/11 survivors and first responders who spent years literally living through the aftermath. and rebuilding their lives within the downtown community. As Lower Manhattan continues to rebuild and flourish, we stop to reflect and go back in time to the days, weeks, and months following September 11th as we look forward to how the community now known as the Seaport District, along with Tribeca and Battery Park, has found new life amidst its revitalization.

The event will begin with a 60-minute moderated conversation, followed by audience Q&A and a reception hosted by The Howard Hughes Corporation providing time to socialize, enjoy food and drinks, and share experiences that define our Lower Manhattan community.

GUEST MODERATOR

Contessa Brewer, CNBC Correspondent

NYC city kids...(scratch that) NYC tweens have tak NYC city kids...(scratch that) NYC tweens have taken over Florida and we couldn’t be happier. Now I understand why they call Miami/FL “NY South”. We have been lucky to catch up with sooo many of our school families and friends. 

Grateful that our kids (and parents) get this socialization after a year of remote learning. 

Friends are the best gift ever. Memories of a lifetime. Grateful that we had the best weather, so many outdoor activities and expert mask-wearers.
