An Outpouring of Generosity

Across the nation, Americans have channeled their grief over the terrorist attacks, and the thousands of deaths they caused, into an unprecedented display of creative generosity and volunteerism.

Youngsters run lemonade stands to solicit for the relief efforts and firefighters take to the streets to raise donations for families of fallen colleagues, while artists hold special performances to celebrate the lives of those who were lost and advocacy groups seek to create "hate-free zones," where people of all races and religion can feel at ease.
