Gwen Torges, a member of the Center for Civic Dialogue executive leadership team, provided comment on a September 5, 2026, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review feature about the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America.
The story, “We swore to ‘never forget’ 9/11. But have we let it slowly slip away?” includes this quote from Torges: “I think we need to remember it, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to take all of our attention forever.”
