Please join us for our monthly Better Conversation on Wednesday, February 19th. We will mark 24 years the Memorial Museum has been teaching the senselessness of violence and connecting you to the stakeholders that show us that this horrific act of domestic terrorism was all too real.
We are honored to welcome Brent Glass, director emeritus of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, who will speak on The Power of Place and Public Memory. He will explore the question of how much people can absorb and process as more spaces are created to honor memories of sadness and loss. After hearing from Mr. Glass, we will have open discussions at each table and share, as a community, what we’ve done and why it is still important.
Sign up for a free lunch and hear from a renowned historian about the importance of preserving public spaces—not just for the families, survivors, and first responders who lived through the tragedy & understood the horror, but for all of us to learn and remember.
We look forward to seeing you there!
