CYNDI LAUPER TO PERFORM AT FIRST EVER 9/11 "TRIBUTE IN LIGHT" LIVE BROADCAST
The Big Apple’s true colors will be shining through.
Pop legend Cyndi Lauper will perform beneath the glow of Ground Zero’s iconic annual “Tribute in Light” — the projection of two blue beams where the Twin Towers once stood — Friday to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The “Time After Time” and “True Colors” singer’s performance will conclude a first-of-its-kind national broadcast that honors the memory of the victims and “the resilience of survivors, families, first responders, and communities forever changed by that day,” the September 11 Memorial & Museum announced Tuesday.

FAMILIES OF 9/11 VICTIMS CALL FOR MAYOR MAMDANI TO SKIP FRIDAY'S MEMORIAL CEREMONY--AS OF NOW, HE IS STILL COMING
Family members of victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are speaking out against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Speaking on the steps of New York City Hall, protesters are demanding that the mayor not attend the 25th-anniversary ceremony on Friday.Cheri Sparacio, who lost her husband, stated that she doesn't want Mamdani there because, "He stands with people like Hassan Piker. It is today that he hires people like Ramzi Kassem. It is today that he stands with an imam who was a CO-CONSPIRATOR of the '93 bombing. THAT is what we object to."
