WHYY Remembers

Commemorating 9/11 on WHYY-FM
Edited by Tara DellaFranzia and Jennifer Fletcher

Each of us has, in some way, felt the impact of September 11. Within our own communities here in the Delaware Valley, we have seen the results of a changed society. Since that day, WHYY-FM's news and information team has reported on some of the ways our region has been directly affected, including the economic impact on the region, changes in police and fire departments, how councelors have helped school children deal with their emotions and comments on the events from local Muslims. These segments will air at various times throughout the 91FM schedule between Monday, September 2 and Wednesday, September 11.

Following are just some of the special programs airing on 91FM to commemorate the one-year anniversary of September 11:
