Many who experienced life in the United States both before and after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, would agree that “9/11 changed everything.” The cultural, political, and social impacts felt as a result of the largest terrorist attack to ever occur on American soil were, indeed, sweeping. Though each person has experienced these changes in different ways, in many respects, the United States hasn’t been the same since the attacks, and it is fair to say we may never be the same again.
This website explores the many ways in which the events of 9/11 have impacted the United States. Although the goal of this site is to explore the aftermath of the attacks, rather than the attacks themselves, the 9/11 Memorial Museum has a minute-by-minute interactive timeline that helps to shed more light on the execution of the attacks. In addition, the "In their words . . ." section that opens the topics below does explore several first-hand narrative accounts of the day itself.
Please click on the images below, or the menu choices to the left, to explore a variety of different topics related to both the roots and legacy of the 9/11 attacks.
Explore the personal accounts of RE alums, teachers, and others, including those who were in New York and Washington, DC, on 9/11, as well as others who were in various places throughout the country.
This page was originally created by the students in the 2018-2019 "Roots & Legacy of 9/11" class at the Ransom Everglades School. Those students — whose names are also credited on the individual pages they created — are RJ Black '19, Olivia Byrd '20, Emma Danon '19, Esteban Jaramillo '19, Sophia Iacovelli '20, Claire Medici '20, Anderson Murphy '19, Perry Samimy '20, Oliver Stern '19, Nico Valls '20, Hugo Verea '19. The students were assisted by their teacher, Mr. Gregory Cooper.
The "In their words . . ." interviews were subsequently conducted by members of the 2019-2020 class: Mattie Barfield '21, Jake Beber-Frankel '20, Zach Buttrick '20, Diego Duckenfield-Lopez '20, Meredith Hutchinson '20, Joseph Kodsi '20, Sophie Leibowitz '20, Daniela Ortiz '21, Maya Sanchez '21, Shelby Sanders '21, Jamie Sanford '20, Abby Sekoff '20, Isa Souffront '21, Addy Weintraub '20.
This class also owes gratitude to the students from 2018, who made the initial effort to create a website for their peers. Though that site was never finished, it provided both the structure and framework for this updated creation.
