Black women are indomitable!! Posted @withregram • @notorious_fal The resiliency of Black women. #NeverForget Posted @withregram • @wonderwombman Genelle Guzman-McMillan was the last person found alive in the rubble of the World Trade Center. She went to work on September 11, 2001 on the 64th floor. When the towers came down she was buried for 27 hours, longer than any other person. Her story should have been included in the World Trade Center Movie released in 2006. SHE IS STILL ALIVE TODAY!! For Genelle Guzman-McMillan, the 9/11 anniversary brings back especially painful memories. Guzman-McMillan was the last person to be pulled out of the rubble of the twin towers alive. In a recent interview with Doug McKelway, Ms Guzman-McMillan was the last person pulled alive from the wreckage of the Twin Towers, 27 hours after the building collapsed on top of her. On that fateful Tuesday, she was working as an assistant secretary at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey whose offices were on the 64th floor of Tower 1. The North Tower of the World Trade Center. About an hour after hijackers flew a plane into the North Tower of the #WorldTradeCenter 30 floors above her office, Ms Guzman-McMillan and her colleagues decided to escape down the stairs. The tower collapsed as they reached the 13th floor. Ms Guzman-McMillan lay buried for over a day; she says it felt "like forever". She describes how her faith has given her strength and resolve in the aftermath of that unspeakable horror. #GenelleGuzmanMcMillan #TrinidadAndTobago #Sayhername #Blackhistory #thestufftheywonttellyou #September11th #TwentyYearLater #blackwithnochaser https://www.instagram.com/p/CTsVa96PYuM/?utm_medium=tumblr
