25 Years Later: Reflections on 9/11 and the War on Terror
Thursday, January 29, 2026
6 p.m. - 7 p.m. ET
Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the aftershocks of that day continue to shape U.S. foreign policy, domestic security, and global affairs. In conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin, Richard Haass, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Frances Fragos Townsend, former National Security Advisor for Combatting Terrorism, examine the lasting implications of 9/11 and the national security challenges facing the United States today. Drawing on their extensive experience in government and policy, the speakers offer an historical perspective as we approach the 25th anniversary of the attacks. The program will be held in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations and serve as the first in a series of retrospective conversations offered throughout 2026.
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s programs are made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
