Before and After 9/11

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
We devote our full show today to remembering the 9/11 attacks, and exploring their continuing impact. First, Lawrence Wright's groundbreaking account of the events leading up to the attacks. Then, Joel Meyerowitz shares his Ground Zero photos. And we hear the firsthand accounts of students who were in school in lower Manhattan on 9/11. Plus, we ask how architects have responded in the wake of the attacks.
