On September 6, 2002, the U.S. Congress convened in a rare special session at Federal Hall in New York City, marking a solemn and symbolic moment in American history. The session, held less than a year after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, was a tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives lost and a demonstration of the nation’s unity in the fight against terrorism. Lawmakers gathered at the historic site where George Washington had once been inaugurated, reaffirming their commitment to national resilience and the ongoing efforts to secure the country. This session underscored the collective resolve of the American people to stand together in the face of adversity, while honoring the profound sacrifices made during one of the darkest days in the nation’s history.
