O’Leary Community Room for the month of September.
“This educational exhibition recounts the events of September 11, 2001, through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks. Told across 14 posters, this exhibition includes archival photographs and images of artifacts from the Museum’s permanent collection.” – 9/11 Memorial and Museum website.
In addition to the poster exhibition, the September 11 Museum also has online resources about the World Trade Center and the Twin Towers, the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath, and the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site at www.911memorial.org/learn/resources/911-primer.
The poster exhibition has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.

Heartbreaking one moment, rambunctiously disarming the next, Claudia Jacobs is a rare combination of soulful singer, heartfelt poet and spirited entertainer; “few performers can fill a stage as completely.” Part Folk Singer, part Bluesy Mama; she writes and sings songs about the human experience simply and honestly; addressing joy, pain, injustice, loneliness and hope with sass and humor.
Born in a proverbial “trunk” and raised in historically creative Northport, NY, she honed her performance and writing skills in NY’s Fast Folk Greenwich Village of the 80’s making the famed Speakeasy, her musical home for a time where she embraced the rich singer-songwriter folk music tradition she was raised in ,while adding her unique mixture of genres to create a sound all her own; drawing inspiration from the multiple styles inherent in Americana, spreading into R&B, soul and Jazz particularly in vocal style.
Awarded the title “Long Island’s Favorite Soul Singer” by the Long Island Press, “A Hard-Core Angel” by a fan and “One of the New York areas finest female singer-songwriters…” by WFUV’s John Platt; she has shared the stage with many folk favorites and is winning new fans everyday from Maine to Minnesota.
