September 11: United States
built 819 days ago
Before long, it was clear that September 11 would alter the course of U.S. history. President George W. Bush announced that fighting terrorism and preventing future attacks would be his administration’s top priority. Governments around the world were told they must decide whether to stand with the United States in this antiterrorist effort or face U.S. wrath. Americans had to accustom themselves to new security measures that complicated their travel, work, and recreation. United States agencies rearranged their action agendas, and local governments scrambled to make preparations for new terrorist attacks, possibly involving biological, chemical, or even nuclear weapons.

With candles and other luminaries lighting the way, Hilbert College will hold an on-campus night-time "Service of Light" for those affected by the September 11 terrorist attacks. The symbolic remembrance will take place in the campus quad at 8:30pm on September 11, 2007 a day marking the sixth anniversary of the attacks. Following an opening prayer, participants holding candles will walk to illuminated stations set up in honor of various groups impacted by the tragic events that took place in 2001, including victims, firefighters/emergency medical technicians, survivors, rescue workers/volunteers, and families who lost loved ones. The final station will be representative of world peace. Peace prayers, sacred readings and reflective poems will be read by Hilbert students during the observance. In addition to students, Hilbert faculty and staff and residents from the community are expected to be in attendance.

The struggle against war and occupation as well as the defense of democratic rights demands the organization of a genuinely independent inquiry into the events of September 11. Such an exposure can only be mounted as part of the independent political mobilization of the working class, in the United States and internationally.
