Never Forget: Building Wisconsin's 9/11 Legacy

As the nation marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, leaders behind the Wisconsin 9/11 Memorial and Education Center share their vision for preserving the history and lessons of that day for future generations. Board President Mark Bazata discusses the memorial's origins, its symbolic design featuring steel from the World Trade Center, and plans for a new visitor and education center in Kewaskum. The conversation explores why teaching the story of 9/11 remains critical as fewer Americans have personal memories of the attacks, and how the expanded facility aims to give students, families, and visitors a powerful, immersive way to understand one of the most consequential days in American history.
