How quickly some forget. Journal articles, research reports, oral histories, and crimes stats all document upticks in anti-Muslim sentiment and violence in the aftermath of 9/11.
We must tell our stories — because others attempt to tell them (incorrectly) about us. It's one of the many reasons why I love oral histories. Talk, and listen, to people who've actually lived the experience. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #September11
If you're interested in oral accounts of 9/11 — from folks who were there — you can read stuff like Chief Robert Gray (from Arlington County Fire Department) talk about leading a rescue team in search of people trapped at the Pentagon. 911memorial.org
There will always be people who refuse to open their eyes, ears, and minds to the truth. Much like Krugman claims that things that actually happened didn't, there are also folks who say the Pentagon wasn't targeted on 9/11. (Spoiler alert: It was.) Facts matter.
It's Friday. In case anyone forgot ...
The earth is still round 🌍
Science is still real 🔬
