That Day: When We Were One

A poem by Richard Blanco (MPDE's featured speaker for its Building Bridges Conference in 2020) in honor of Cantor Fitzgerald, The Cantor Relief Fund and Howard Lutnick. As we did during that horrific tragedy, it is time again to unify our country. Never forget we were ONE and we can do it again in 2020.
