Conference's closing plenary, Cortada (projected on big screen) dedicates the collaborative mural
to all those who were killed on September 11th, 2001-- and to the volunteers who keep their memory
alive by "sharing the American spirit." Mr. Cortada's speech preceeded the First
Lady's address to the 3,500 volunteers from across America present. |
