Reaction to Terror in Brandywine, Maryland

This page has been saved as a historical record of 9/11/01.:

memorial ribbon Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and friends of the recent tragedy.

On Tues., Sept. 11, in the midst of the national tragedy, someone went up to a local shopkeeper in southern Prince George's County and asked why his people did this terrible thing. He's Indian. We need to spread the word that this was a hate crime, not an act of war. It was not perpetrated by a government, culture, or religious group. This was just one small group of people who we cannot know by the look on their face. Acting hatefully will not help.

Here are some resources in response to these events.:
