Discovering Heroes® Lecture Series

At Context Productions, we feel strongly that children should be learning about 9/11 through the words of people who experienced it. Arrange a first-person account for your students from the author, the real-life Grandpa character in the Discovering Heroes® series, another 9/11 first responder, a survivor, family members of the 9/11 fallen or others who can provide truthful, thought-provoking accounts of that day. We can also help you arrange a commemorative event with speakers.

With the countless experiences and perspectives from 9/11, here is just a sampling of how we can help you inform students:  

• Author Kristie Kiernan Bouryal discusses 9/11, her series, why she wrote it.
• Grandpa character, FDNY Lt. and 9/11 first responder shares his 9/11 experience.
• 9/11 first responders share their real-life 9/11 accounts.
• Reflections from various 9/11 survivors.
