‘‘I like standing back quietly,’’ Lin said. ‘‘You create your
message, and then it is out there on its own.’’
Lin’s message can be found in the memorial’s exhibits. This
memorial honors those who died fighting for equality during
the civil rights movement. Some visitors reached out to touch
the names of loved ones carved into a black granite disk. Their
faces were wet with tears. ‘‘I’m so thankful,’’ said Sarah Salter,

In 2005 Mother Nature proved just how
powerful she can be. In the United States,
one of the worst hurricane seasons
pounded coastal areas. Katrina, the strongest
hurricane that year, slammed the Gulf Coast.
The violent hurricane destroyed parts of
Mississippi and Alabama, and it flooded the
city of New Orleans.
In South Asia, citizens began the year
rebuilding after a tsunami destroyed coastlines
from southern India to the island nation of
Indonesia. On December 26, 2004, more than
200,000 people were killed in the tsunami, and
millions were left in need of help.

A Dream Comes True
Most kids love recess, but for Hannah Kristan, it
was her least favorite part of the school day.
“I never got to do anything except sit there,”
she recalls.
Hannah was born with a disease that kept the
bones in her back from forming properly. She
uses a wheelchair. Sadly, for kids like her, most
playground equipment is off limits. In fact, Hannah
is one of 5 million kids in the United States who
cannot use traditional playground equipment
because of some type of disability.
Why do ALL kids need a place to play?
