YAKIMA — A local historian will describe his perspective on the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, during a talk on the evening of the seventh anniversary of the tragedies.
Ken Zontek, a history instructor at Yakima Valley Community College, will give his take on Sept. 11, its relationship to his subsequent deployment to Afghanistan as an Army officer, and his post-deployment effort to improve the lives of Afghans.
His presentation is called: "Big Apple to Apple Capital to Afghanistan: Emotion, Reason and Commitment."
It's part of the nationwide September Project, a grassroots effort to encourage events about freedom and democracy in all libraries during the month of September. For more information about the September Project, visit theseptember

Zontek's talk will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Summitview Library, 5709 Summitview Ave.
