Two High Schools Near Ground Zero
Afterwards: May 21, 2002

by Ambika Kapur
Tuesday, September 11, 2001: A regular day for students at two high schools in downtown New York City. With backpacks slung over their shoulders, they filed into the classrooms of the colorful school buildings. A light buzz filled the rooms as students went about their daily routines. Math for some, gym for others. And then: a loud bang that shook the school walls.

a footnote to History
Andrew Carnegie had a long-standing interest in world peace. “I am drawn more to this cause than to any,” he wrote in 1907. Like other leading internationalists of his time, Carnegie believed that war could be eliminated by stronger international laws and organizations. Between 1900 and 1914, he gave generously in support of this belief, funding projects such as the Peace Palace at The Hague, the Pan American Union building (now the Organization of American States building) in Washington, D.C., the Central American Court of Justice in Costa Rica and giving $10 million to establish the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
