'I Was in Disbelief': Photojournalist Velvet McNeil Tells Story of 9/11 Experience in Photo Exhibits
Washington, DC | 1 month ago
Velvet McNeil took a few days off from her job at The Detroit News in September 2001 to travel to her hometown of New York for her older sister’s wedding. After an extended weekend of celebrating with family and friends she prepared to return home on Tuesday, Sept. 11. That didn’t happen. She woke up just in time to see live coverage of the second plane fly into the south tower of the World Trade Center. McNeil quickly decided to head to Lower Manhattan and document the tragedy with her film camera. She was shaken by what she saw at the site where her grandmother used to work and where she would visit her as a child. “I was in disbelief. I could see the bottom of the tower just sticking up,” McNeil said. “The air was so thick. And I just remember thinking, ‘Oh my God!’ I couldn’t believe it! Even though I witnessed it on television, when I got down to that space, I was still in disbelief of what actually happened.”
Remembering the Day that Changed the World Through the Eyes of a Former Police Officer
Washington, DC | 1 month ago
The country knows Eric Adams might become New York’s second Black mayor. The Democrat will square off in November against anti-crime advocate Curtis Sliwa, a Republican and founder of the anti-crime Guardian Angels. What many don’t know is that Adams is a former member of the New York City Police Department, an agency he joined because he was beaten by police in his younger days and wanted to advocate for Black citizens and police officers. On the day two planes hit the World Trade Center, Adams was a police lieutenant in Brooklyn. He was among thousands of NYPD members who responded.
Filmmaker Spike Lee Reflects on 9/11 and Other Issues
Washington, DC | 1 month ago
With the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil looming, a lot of folks are offering analysis and reflection. But no one is doing it quite like the visionary filmmaker Spike Lee. His new four-part, originally eight but now seven and a half hour documentary series “NYC Epicenters 9/11-2021 1/2” that airs Sunday nights on HBO except for the finale on Sept. 11, is part historic examination and part political advocacy. Just like its creative force, the production is relentless in its inquiries, unapologetic in its tone, and both a celebration and searing polemic that raises troubling questions and spotlights alternately inspirational and disturbing figures among its 200 interviewees.
