The Smithsonian hosts an open conversation about September 11

Social media and the web have allowed disparate voices from all walks of life meeting on a level playing field to discuss common interests and concerns. Unfortunately, much of this conversation conversation happens anonymously, and people sometimes talk past each other. For the 10th anniversary of the September 11th tragedy, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian Channel and GMD Studios invite you to join a discussion group in  “September 11: Conversations”. Each group will contain a limited number of participants (around 20 per group) from different areas of the country who agree to participate for two weeks, and will strive to achieve the natural give-and-take of real life conversation.
