WGLT's Sound Ideas - Friday 9/10/21

Ways To Subscribe

The twin towers of the World Trade Center fell twenty years ago. Teachers in classrooms that day managed their own grief and their students'. Some couldn't be there in the moment for their own children. Others say they regret letting it play on tv in classrooms. For some 9-11 is history, for others it is still as raw as if it happened yesterday. Hear Bloomington Normal residents recall where they were that day. Some believe 9-11 had a lasting effect on civil liberties. Young adults who were not yet born during 9-11 say they too feel trauma. Hear an hour long reflection on 9-11 from people in central Illinois.

WGLT Senior Reporter Charlie Schlenker has spent more than three award-winning decades in radio. He lives in Normal with his family.
