YOUTUBE (MS NOW) - How schools are teaching lessons about 9/11 to a generation that didn’t live through it

New data shows that September 11, 2001, remains a vivid memory for many, but it is growing more distant for younger generations as the number of Americans who did not experience the day continues to rise. New polling from Pew Research Center shows that 60% of 18- to 24-year-olds report learning about the attacks in class or through schoolwork. Mel Bissell is the social studies curriculum specialist for GBH Education, a multiplatform public media production organization that creates digital classroom resources for PBS and PBS LearningMedia. She helped create the new 9/11 resources and joins Way Too Early to discuss teaching the history of the attacks to the next generation.
