I saw a wonderful fashion exhibit last weekend in Amsterdam. This was one of the outfits on display, a recreation of the orphan uniform worn by girls for centuries. They were finally abolished in the 1800’s because the mayor of Amsterdam deemed them too ostracizing. I think they are beautiful but obviously are problematic in the way they identified someone as an orphan immediately. History is fascinating.

Happy Happy Birthday dear Why didn’t we take any pictures last night??

September 11, 2001

I was a kindergarten teacher in Skokie, Illinois. For those of you who are not familiar with Skokie, it is a suburb located just next to Chicago and a true melting pot of cultures and languages.
I arrived at school immediately after the first plane struck the North Tower. I learned about it when another teacher was telling our principal to turn on the news (he had a tv in his office).
Several of us stood in his office and watched live as the second plane hit. I will never ever forget that feeling, my stomach heaved and heart broke as I watched the explosion.
At the same time, the first bus arrived to deliver our students. We all scrambled to pull ourselves together and put on a happy face.

Our principal told us our first responsibility was to our students, who knew nothing about what was transpiring hundreds of miles away.
As the day went on, certain staff members were designated as runners who went from class to class with updates. We quickly learned that the Pentagon had been hit and then that there was another hijacked airplane possibly heading for the White House.

One incident in particular gave me a perspective that escaped so many other Americans at the time. The week after 9/11 one of my newly immigrated students returned to the classroom (he had been out of school since 9/12). When I asked him if he had been sick, he replied “No Mrs. Flynn, my mom was afraid to leave the apartment because people yell at her and say horrible things.”
Nearly one third of my class was Muslim that year. I remember getting into arguments with friends and family about the danger of labeling and stereotyping entire groups. It was exhausting and added to the pain we were all feeling in the months after the attack.

20 years later, I am stilling trying to process the complex emotions of that day and the days that followed. But I continue to believe that only by embracing our differences and acknowledging our mistakes can we move forward to a better future.
