Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, the memories of that day remain deeply etched into the American consciousness.
But Rich Matthews asks Americans to remember not only 9/11, but also what followed.
In the days after the attacks, Americans came together across political, racial and religious differences. Republicans and Democrats put politics aside, communities supported one another, and countries around the world stood with the United States.
Twenty-five years later, Matthews reflects on how much has changed and asks whether America has lost some of the unity that emerged after the attacks.
His message is not to return to the fear and tragedy of 9/11, but to remember the spirit of 9/12 — when Americans stood together, supported one another and refused to let hatred divide the country.
