| Fresh Kills: The Inside Story of the Recovery Operation after 9/11 Monday, May 15, 6 p.m. ET In the aftermath of September 11th, roughly 1.5 million tons of debris was transported by truck and barge from Ground Zero to Fresh Kills, a recently closed landfill in Staten Island. Once the largest landfill in the world, Fresh Kills became the primary location to sort through and investigate the World Trade Center wreckage. To mark this extraordinary story of 9/11 response, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Richard Marx, who served as Incident Co-Commander, is joined by the former Director of the Bureau of Waste Disposal of the Department of Sanitation, Martin Bellew, and former NYPD Lieutenant Commander of Detectives, Roger Parrino. Together in conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin, they discuss setting up interagency operations, the complex process to recover human remains, personal effects, and evidence, and the ongoing health effects suffered by the recovery community. |
Lessons from the Edge Wednesday, May 10, 6 p.m. ET In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, dramatically escalating a years-long hostility. The resulting war has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions of Ukrainians, and reshaped global politics. To help us understand the history of the region and the current state of the war, we welcome Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine (2016-2019), Armenia (2008-2011), and Kyrgyzstan (2005-2008). In this conversation with Museum Director, Clifford Chanin, Ambassador Yovanovitch discusses her new book, Lessons from the Edge: A Memoir, the role of diplomacy in a post-9/11 world, and the future of this devastating conflict. |
