RA: History: The Attack of 9/11

$20 per person
Instructor: Catherine Fitzpatrick
On September 11, 2001, Catherine Underhill Fitzpatrick, a fashion columnist for a Midwest daily newspaper, traveled to New York City to cover glamorous designer runway shows. At first word of the World Trade Center attacks, she raced toward Ground Zero to cover the unfolding tragedy at close range. Very close. A reading of excerpts from the real-time dispatches she filed from the streets of Lower Manhattan and from subsequent published essays she wrote will be shared. Richly descriptive, filled with gripping detail and supplemented with photographs, Fitzpatrick's award-winning account chronicles 9/11 as it was experienced by those who ran into harm's way to bring out the story of a tragedy that changed the world.
