Facebook plans on creating a 9/11 Live stream to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11 on their website. Facebook will Livestream “9/11: 10 Years Later — An Evening of Remembrance and Reflection,” from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The tribute will feature readings from Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Madeleine Albright and artists Denyce Graves, Emmylou Harris, Melissa Leo and Wynton Marsalis; ABC News’ Christiane Armanpour hosts.
Tune in at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time by clicking the “9/11 Livestream” tab on the Facebook pages of the Kennedy Center or The New Republic.
Honor the nearly 3,000 men, women, and children who perished in the attacks of 9/11. Dedicate your status, update your profile photo, and tell us how you’re remembering.
The 9/11 Memorial application, built by Facebook app maker Involver, was released Wednesday, just days ahead of the 10th anniversary of the tragic attacks.
“The goal of the application is to honor and remember victims of this devastating attack on America, 10 years later,” explains Involver‘s Senior Vice President of Marketing Jascha Kaykas-Wolff.
The 9/11 Memorial Facebook App allows users to dedicate their Facebook profile picture to show you remember those who suffered during 9/11. There is also a donation button so you can donate to one of the 3000 victims of 9/11. If you prefer, you can even dedicate your profile picture to an individual who was lost.
