We are proud to join our member schools in celebrating the history, the culture, and the many contributions of Hispanic Americans. Through milestones achieved in every genre from music, to science and mathematics, to art and literature, and even food, Hispanic Americans and those of Latin American descent have made an indelible impact on our country that is worthy of recognition.
We invite you to join us this month in celebrating those accomplishments.
Today we remember the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. We also honor the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and ordinary citizens who ran into danger to save others, and the thousands more who spent months at Ground Zero in the recovery and rebuilding effort that followed. Many of them are still battling, or have since died from illnesses tied to their service there. Twenty-five years on, their courage and the sacrifice that continued long after the cameras left remain part of what we remember.
We remain eternally grateful and humbled by their sacrifice.
Today, we join our member schools in honoring the contributions, achievements, and sacrifices of American workers. This is a great time to recognize the role of American workers throughout history and their efforts to champion better working conditions, fair wages, and the overall fair treatment and protection of workers’ rights.
