Many of the newspaper front pages featured in 'Headlines of History' were first seen together in the 12th of September 2001 exhibit 'Today's Front Pages' produced by the Newseum, Arlington, Virginia.

The Statue of Liberty is visible and in the background clouds of smoke, ash and dust rise in the background.
