the Smithsonian Institution | | Mohawk ironworkers building New York City's Chase Manhattan Bank Building. |
| The news release about the opening of the museum's exhibit "Booming Out: Mohawk Ironworkers Build New York" alerted Frank Herron of The Post-Standard in Syracuse, N.Y. to the possibility of a feature story. He located a Mohawk ironworker who lived nearby and interviewed him. Herron's story begins: On Sept. 11, the third anniversary of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers, an exhibit opens in Syracuse that illustrates the courage and skill of the men who helped build them. They are the Mohawk ironworkers, who have climbed beams, wrenched rivets and walked girders for more than 100 years. |
