His Brother Died Helping Others on 9/11. Now Millions Are Doing the Same

from CNN 5 Things · host CNN Podcasts

The spirit of unity that followed 9/11 became an annual tradition that’s still bringing Americans together 25 years later. We highlight some of the barrier-breaking performances inspiring the next generation of tennis players at this year’s US Open. A temporary city on the Crow reservation in rises Montana each summer for one of America’s largest Native American gatherings. Millions of people follow the journey of one Chicago man who turned sticker shock into a side hustle for an engagement ring. A group of college students built a solar-powered ambulance that could bring healthcare to communities far off the grid.    Host/Producer: Krista Bo Polanco  Producer: Eryn Mathewson   Senior Producer: Felicia Patinkin  Editorial Support: Amy Gunia, Rachael Scott  Learn more about your ad choices.
