(1010 WINS) NEW YORK Many families of those killed in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center oppose plans for a memorial at the site not related to the events of September 11th.
Those families plan to launch a ``Take Back the Memorial'' campaign this week to get public officials to focus on the victims of the attacks.
They are against proposed plans for an International Freedom Center at Ground Zero which would have exhibits on slavery, human rights and American Indians.
Small article but at least the MSM is reporting this.
Check that out, these people might actually do some good.
I hope they can do it. This is outrageous! This should be about the 9/11 victims and ONLY the 9/11 victims. If those other groups want their own memorial and museum LET THEM BUILD THIER OWN SOMEPLACE ELSE!
What can we do to help get the word out? I've sent to my e-mail list, this and other articles.
bbl
Put the towers back. They represent that horrible day and every person who lived and died that day. The hurt will always be there. A fitting Memorial to an entire city.
I wonder if it's architecturally sound to erect tw0 110-story middle fingers, to be used as replacement office buildings?
This memorial that was originally planned not only honors those who died in the attack, or who perished trying to save those who survived it, it is a memorial for all Americans who cried and suffered along with the victims' families, the rescue workers and volunteers who were a part of the aftermath. Surely there is something we all can do to help the efforts of those involved in the campaign to take back the memorial. Does anyone know how people all across the US can help?
Slavery, human rights, and Indians. There are hundreds of such monuments already in place, and they have little value at the ground zero site.
Why not just put up a statue of a hummingbird instead of an eagle?
Is Kristin Breitweiser amongst these families? If not, then according to the MSM, these families are not true 9/11 families as Kristin Breitweiser and ONLY Kristin Breitweiser qualifies. /sarcasm
Sombody call Donald Trump , He'll know what to do with this sacred spot , and you won't have to remind him to "FIRE" the existing desiginers . Where did they come from anyhow ? Who appointed them to cast guilt on the U.S. with this monument ? Somebody needs to take credit for this blunder . Who is it ???
Slavery,Human Rights,American Indians???What in the world do these have to do with 911 and the World Trade Center?911 is/was about muslim extremeists MURDERING innocent human beings.Any memorial to the WTC should be about the victims.
Period!
