For G. Wayne Miller of The Providence Journal, our own Dr. Michael D. Kennedy describes both COVID and 9/11 and its aftermath as “generation-making events” – events, he says, that profoundly affected people of his students’ ages, late teens and early twenties, in ways that will last their lifetimes. On a broader level, he asserts, each event affected all populations to some degree and “changed the institutions of our society.”
