Summary
More than 100 million Americans now know 9/11 only from history, pushing the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to widen student outreach for the attacks' 25th anniversary.
Since opening in 2014, the museum has drawn more than 28 million visitors, increasingly people who did not live through Sept. 11 and come to learn through artifacts, victim stories and firsthand accounts.
The museum says it is taking that teaching beyond lower Manhattan with student workshops, online programs, lesson plans and professional development aimed at helping educators teach 9/11 as lived history.
People from more than 90 countries were killed in the attacks, and the museum says preserving both the tragedy and the post-attack spirit of service is now central to keeping the "Never Forget" pledge.
