Freedom Center Revises Exhibits to Stay at WTC Site

New York, NY —

The controversial International Freedom Center released revised plans for its exhibits today, in a bid to stay at the World Trade Center site. WNYC's Cindy Rodriguez reports.

REPORTER: Besides some vocal family members who worry the museums exhibits may be anti-american, the police and a fire union also oppose the International Freedom Center. They say cultural institutions don't belong at a grave site.

But Chris Burke, who sits on the Freedom Center's family advisory committee, says those who are opposed to the museum do not speak for everyone. He lost his brother and several friends during the terrorist attacks.

BURKE: Its' very important that a vocal minority does not have the opportunity to speak for the greater majority that's simply not right.

REPORTER: If it succeeds, the museum will sit at the northeast section of the site, away from a memorial museum that's expected to recreate the events of September 11th. According to plans submitted today, the IFC will include the response to September 11th from people around world. Exhibits on Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Junior are also planned.
