"20" is an oral history podcast presenting 20 stories on the 20th Anniversary of September 11th. "20" was produced to help future generations better remember and form a deeper emotional connection to a tragic, yet unifying moment in American history. Many young adults were too young to know 9/11 other than through the limited time and space of a textbook or an annual memorial. "20" is for them so that they will never forget the 2,977 men, women, and children lost on that day to terrorists attacking our country.
