To the editor:

On Sept. 11, 2001, we showed the world we were Americans. Not Black vs. white, male vs. female, rich vs. poor, liberal vs. conservative, gay vs. straight, cisgender vs. transgender, rural vs. urban, left-handed vs. right-handed. This was years before identity politics. We were Americans. Period.
