On this day of remembrance, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, recognizing the courage of those who responded, and reflect on the lasting impact of that day. 🇺🇸
Here in Tulsa, our skyline holds a unique connection to the World Trade Center. The BOK Tower was designed by Minoru Yamasaki & Associates, the same architectural firm behind New York City’s original Twin Towers. Completed in 1976, its design was closely inspired by the World Trade Center, creating a lasting architectural connection between Tulsa and New York City.
As we look toward our own skyline today, may it serve as a reminder of the strength, unity and compassion shown in the face of unimaginable tragedy. May it also remind us of the values we strive to live out at the Y every day, caring for one another, strengthening community and creating a place where everyone belongs. 💙
