It was a sunny morning in Connecticut with no hint of the terror to come. When the day turned dark, its shadows stretched across the state in uncountable ways. As the airplanes struck their targets, they started the clock on a new era. Political fortunes rose and fell. Commuters who crossed the border every day woke from numb routine to a keen sense of chance and peril. Journalists wrestled with a story that resisted conventional analysis. Prosecutors and courts redrew the map of justice. Teachers struggled to adapt their notions of history to a moment that shattered the old frameworks. Believers saw their faith shaken... or deepened. Connecticut, a place that prizes steady habits and normalcy, drifted into a new life that differed from the old one in finely grained details, many of them barely noticeable.
This is "Ten Years Later, Connecticut On September 11," a series of reports and interviews on the events of the day and the days that followed.
Otis Library will be hosting a panel discussion entitled “After 9/11” on Friday, September 9, at 6:30 p.m. in the library community room. The panel will discuss what has changed in America, politically and militarily, since September 11, 2001. On the panel is Ray Hackett, Editorial Page Editor for The Bulletin; William Salka, Professor of Political Science at Eastern Connecticut State University; and Captain Glenn M. Sulmasy, Chairman of the Department of Humanities and a Professor of Law at the United States Coast Guard Academy . The moderator will be Robert Farwell, Executive Director of Otis Library.
