On September 8, 2022, Harold Washington College will hold a moment of silence, announced through the PA system, from 10:28 a.m. to 10:29 a.m. The time was chosen to honor those who lost their lives when the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City collapsed at that time in 2011.
In 2017, former President Donald Trump proclaimed September 8-10 as National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, and proclaimed September 11 as Patriot Day.
