Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I woke up with a migraine headache...called into my office to tell them I would stay at home, I turned on the Today show with the sound down....laying in an otherwise dark and quite room...I was watching Katic Couric and suddenly she grabbed at the mic in her ear and they showed tower one smoking...I thought...Oh no! not another lets blow up NYC movie clip!...but her face looked different..and bit pale with alarm...her body language changed....this was my first indication of the horror...I turned up the sound and in about 10 minutes I was instantly terrified that I was alone I started calling everyone, my kids were in class...so I called my office and did play by play over the phone for them as things unfolded and the situation got worse and worse...I started praying for all the people who were in the towers, then tower one went down. At that very moment I felt so terrible my heart went through the floor and I think I cried for about a week after, I felt so very helpless, powerless and oh so angry. Not in My NYC, in My USA...this home that Black Americans like myself and so many others had to struggle and rage against just so that we could call this land our own, and the many who have died to protect freedom in this land....I cried for all of that, and then I marveled at the sacrifice and the spirit that lies just below the surface of all human beings to do whatever we can to help each other when it is needed the most. A nation of different people with different everythings...but we really are awesome beings, us Americans just below the surface...
