Twenty-five years ago, the world changed in a matter of moments.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 souls lost on September 11, 2001—and the countless families, friends, first responders, survivors, and communities who carried the weight of that day, and whose lives it would color forever.

These photographs, made by Changemaker Stephen Wilkes in the aftermath at Ground Zero, and on the 9th anniversary of the attacks bear witness to a place transformed by unimaginable loss, and to moments that would reshape our country and our world.

A quarter century later, we pause to honor those who were lost, to thank those who ran toward danger to help others, and to reflect on all that changed that cloudless September morning.

We remember.
