Curator's Comment
On September 11, 2002, Mayor Bloomberg held a memorial service at Ground Zero for the victims of the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. Family members and friends gathered at the site for the service and placed tribute material on the "Circle of Remembrances." Although the "Circle" was to be used primarily as a place to put fresh flowers, the families and friends also placed a large number of artifacts and memorabilia both on and around the structure.
The tribute items were collected and stored by the New York City Municipal Archives.
In May 2022, a memorial poster for Antonio Dorsey Pratt was located by a researcher in the Municipal Archives 9/11 Collection. The Archive provided a scan and granted the 9/11 Museum permission to use the scan to populate Pratt's Memorial Exhibition profile.
