“The way people came together in New York affected me greatly,” – Michael Arad. 9/11 will forever be the day in which this beautiful city comes together and takes a moment to remember the lives of those who were in the towers. Michael Arad, an architect, is the mastermind behind the beautiful and peaceful memorial we now use to remember all the lost lives from the towers. Although, that day was full of tragedies all New Yorkers became stronger. We united and worked through this trauma. Now this area, which is appreciated by not only new yorkers but by people from around the globe, is the best way to show everyone just how strong we were after the attacks. Our strength is what attracts guest to see how we are doing, not all sad things are bad things.
