The
University recognized the first anniversary of the events of September
11, 2001, with a community event co-sponsored by the University
of Virginia, U.Va.’s Student Council, Charlottesville-Albemarle
Clergy Association, and You’ve Got A Friend Day Foundation.
Focusing
on the lessons of September 11, the ceremony incorporated original
music, readings, poetry, and interfaith prayers. The program was
intended to provide a time and space to remember those who died
in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and on the planes; to
honor those emergency workers, living and dead, who braved danger
that day; to reflect on the myriad ways we all were changed by the
events of one year ago; and to celebrate the hope and healing spirit
that inspire and sustain us still.
