September 11 Symposium: Impact on the Heartland September 8, 2011

The September 11 Symposium: Impact on the Heartland will be a thought provoking event that will take place at Bismarck State College in Bismarck, North Dakota. We are bringing together experts on everything from the 9/11 Commission to Constitutional Law and journalism. Speakers will include noted journalist Chuck Roberts, Peter Bergen (one of the only men to ever interview Osama Bin Laden), and Dr. Geoffrey Wawro (author of the book Quicksand).

In addition, the symposium planning committee is working on a documentary called the 100 Stories Project: Perspectives from the Heartland, where they are collecting memories of people from North Dakota and surrounding states. People that may not have been in NYC on that fateful day, but Americans still deeply affected by an event that changed the course of the country.
