| Day of Remembrance: April 6, 2002 |
|
|
In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, New Yorkers and visitors sought ways to honor those lost while contributing to New York City's renewal. More than 10,000 people planted over 1.5 million daffodils across the city, which will bloom into fields of gold as a living tribute this spring and for springs to come. Parks commemorated the Daffodil Project on April 6, 2002 with a day of remembrance. A moment of silence was held at noon on that day in parks and green spaces throughout the five boroughs. |
