The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 1, 2011

For those who were children on September 11th, 2001, the day has a special meaning and communicating that significance to young New Yorkers now is a challenge. Brendan Illis and Norhan Basuni, Radio Rookies at WNYC, speak with Clifford Chanin, education director at the 9/11 Memorial Museum, as part of the Brian Lehrer Show’s Decade 9/11 series. Plus: a closer look at the structure and policy of flood insurance; and your calls on how to handle grief.
