I have such sad memories of this day 20 years ago. It was healing to watch, through my tears, this special program of music, words, and visuals.
From the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square Youtube page:
The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square present this Music & the Spoken Word special broadcast commemorating the 20th anniversary of 9/11
It has been twenty years since the devastating tragedies of 9/11 but what continues to give us hope for the future are the compassionate stories of people who came together to help one another. When we remember, it deepens our gratitude for those who willingly chose to raise us up by the sacrifice of their own safety and causes us to forget the things that divide us. It helps us concentrate on the things that connect us and reveals to all of us what we’re actually capable of doing to help one another.
“Having had a front row seat as a journalist” said Johnson, “it is an honor for me to be part of this ‘Coming Together’ special commemorating human kindness during the tragedy of 9/11. In a way, this special parallels the challenges in today’s world and reminds us that embracing each other with love and respect can help heal the human heart."
