September 11: Five Years Later

Monday, September 11, 2006

For our September 11 program, we’ll try to be a place where listeners can connect with their fellow New Yorkers and fellow Americans. We’ll take lots of calls and emails with listeners' thoughts on this fifth anniversary, and we’ll have visitors, including Reverend James Forbes of Riverside Church and David Isay from StoryCorps. Also: a preview of Tuesday's New York State primary.
