Our Flag Was Still There: From the American Revolution to 9/11

In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the American flag emerged as a powerful symbol of unity, resilience, and hope. In conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin, photographer Thomas Franklin, historian Edward T. Linenthal, and Executive Director of the Fairfield Art Museum Carey Mack Weber explore how national symbols take on new meaning in times of crisis – and how images, memory, and commemoration continue to shape the way we remember 9/11 today.
