On Native Soil

It is still surprising to see videos on 9/11. I was too young to remember what happened that day or what i was doing;although I didn't see the terror that day, I saw it growing more and more the older I got. The shivers sent down my spine when I think about it. The people jumping from the burning buildings, the wailing heard in the streets from the footage. listening to the survivors talk about the events on 9/11 are really real and you can see the expression on their faces makes someone who was dazed wake up and wish they could help. for the longest time i strayed away from asking if anyone in my family was hurt during this event for the sole purpose of not bringing the sadness out locked away like a suppressed memory. I can’t wait for the day that some people who were really affected by 9/11 don’t assume just anyone with darker skin color or a certain religion could potentially terrorists.
