At our May 29 public program, Mike Keane, co-owner of O’Hara’s Restaurant and Pub; Tim Brown, retired firefighter and 9/11 survivor; and Dr. David Abramson, Director of the Center for Public Health Disaster Science at NYU’s School of Global Public Health, discussed the ways individuals came together in public spaces after the attacks to grieve, find solace, and memorialize. When recounting how O’Hara’s became a space like that, Brown stated, “The folks come up from Washington and I introduce them to the families and — firefighters, families, police officers. And — again, we — come here, we pay our respects, we gather as a community. We interact, we get to know new people, but then we go home. And home is O’Hara’s. And, and there we can eat, we can drink, we can talk, laugh — right? That’s what we do. Here we don’t laugh. But when we go to O’Hara’s, it’s okay to laugh. And-- that brings us together.” To learn more about what our experts had to say, stay tuned for more clips or watch other programs on our YouTube channel: https://ow.ly/nAms50SfnSH
