Students have been studying the impact of 9/11 on civil liberties and are working towards making connections with past American violations of civil liberties. The exhibit poses the questions: What does an American look like? Who is welcome in this country? What is every American’s duty in the face of racist government action? In examining this historical event from multiple perspectives we hope it provides a foundation that will enable us to understand themes of how power is abused and how the civil liberties of all people can and should be protected.
Francis W. Parker School educates students to think and act with empathy, courage and clarity as responsible citizens and leaders in a diverse democratic society and global community.
