USANewsOnline Desk, New York, N.Y. — April 20, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced she secured funds for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Gillibrand secured $472,549 that will go toward supporting the museum’s educational programming, which focuses on teaching the history of 9/11 to elementary and secondary level students.

Funds will also go toward a digital platform that provides online learners with foundational information about the attacks using archival video and audio and other interactive tools, such as Inside the Collection, a digital, searchable catalog of nearly 3,200 artifacts that expands access to the collection far beyond the roughly 900 objects exhibited in the Museum itself; and live virtual programs including virtual field trips and “Ask an Educator” programs.

“It is deeply important that our young people understand the events of 9/11 and how it changed the world we live in today,” said Sen. Gillibrand. “This funding will allow the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to continue its efforts to challenge students to think critically about a wide range of topics related to the events of 9/11.” Press Release.
