In advance of the anniversary of the terrorist attacks, an advocacy group created a presentation for teachers to share with their students about the history of Sept. 11, 2001.
Standing in front of Los Angeles City Hall on Saturday, 16-year-old Edan Saedi read the names of more than a dozen people who were killed on Sept. 11, 2001, as part of an event aimed at teaching young people about the significance of the day.
Like his peers, Edan was not alive when the attacks happened. He first learned about them in elementary school by reading a book of historical fiction that described the story of a firefighter. In advance of the anniversary, PESA created a presentation for teachers to share with their students about the history of Sept. 11 and distributed it to local schools.
Koretz, who was a state assemblyman when the attacks occurred, said watching Edan and other young people read the victims’ names gave him pause.
