A new episode will be available every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

By 9/11 Memorial Staff
This year in conjunction with Comeback Season: Sports After 9/11, the 9/11 Memorial Museum selected objects that speak to victims’ relationship to sports and physical activity for display in In Memoriam. As the summer months draw to a close, three particular objects, and the stories they represent, call to mind how many New Yorkers spend their time outdoors when the days are long and the weather is warm.
Communities all over the world share in our sacred obligation to remember those who were killed on 9/11, recognize all who survived and honor the sacrifices of the first responders and recovery workers.
