TRANSCRIPT:
For South Carolina Public Radio, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, a day that shaped a generation of Americans. For many kids, the events are something they know only through photos and stories. That makes today an opportunity for families to talk about the past and the lessons learned. Families can share where they were that day, discuss how communities responded and reflect on the ways people came together in the face of tragedy.
History isn’t just about remembering what happened. It’s about understanding why it matters. By sharing stories and lessons from the past, families help the next generation understand not only the events that shaped our nation, but how to move forward together.
For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris.
