Recommended: The impact and role the media has on public perception of muslims

September 11th, 2001. A very memorable date to residents in America. A day in which that many loved ones were killed and a day that started the targeting of Muslims for racial slurs, discrimination, and racial profiling.

A date that has gone down infamously in America’s history is the tragic event that occurred on September 11, 2001. This date was a turning point in the world, and many changes could be seen, such as the addition of the TSA in airports and increased security.
