出版社：eScholarship repository, University of California
摘要：Before the media circus began around the design and construction
of an official 9/11 memorial in Lower Manhattan,
more personal and perhaps more meaningful memorial
activities were taking place across the United States. In
countless communities, private citizens sought to express
their grief for the victims and sympathy for their families.
Some gestures were small, spontaneous acts by largely
anonymous groups of people; others were deliberate and
public, involving the support of local governments. But all
involved a heartfelt desire to respond to the events of that
tragic day by honoring its dead and beginning to heal the
wounds in personal lives and in the national psyche.
