"Through Their Eyes" was produced by Flight 93 National Memorial Chief of Cultural Resources Ms. Barbara Black as her final project as an employee of the Memorial, although Ms. Black plans to continue to serve the Memorial as a volunteer after she retires at the end of April.Ms. Black shared;"as a closing project to my involvement at Flight 93, I chose to explore our next generation of the keepers of the story. Those who began coming as young children to the Memorial and those that are still too young to understand will be the caretakers of our nation's history. It is here where they learn to care about their world and look beyond themselves to pass it to their next generation."

Ms.Black graduated with a Master's and Bachelor's Degree in American History specializing in Museum Studies from the University of Illinois. In 1994,  Ms. Black became Curator at the Somerset Historical Center, caring for the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission Collection and Somerset County Historical Society's collections. In 2001, she began to collect and care for the tributes being left by visitors to the Flight 93 crash site.
