Ask families

Ask the families of those who died what a favorite piece of music was for their family member who died. Then on 9/11 announce each piece of musice with, "this was so-and-so, age x, from such-and-such a place's favorite tune." In this way we will be able to remember that person individually and recall what a wide range of people perished that day. Each time we remember a dead person, they live on through our memories. Our collective memories become a powerful tool for not forgetting. Good luck on your project.
