9/11 should be taught in Massachusetts schools, Gov. Maura Healey said Thursday, 24 years after the terrorist attacks that changed America.

"Every student in Massachusetts needs to be taught in school about 9/11," Healey told WBZ-TV. "It's an incredibly important part of our American history, it's also a really important part of Massachusetts history because sadly so much of 9/11 happened from and involved so many Massachusetts families."

Of the nearly 3,000 victims on 9/11, 206 were from Massachusetts. The two planes that hit the World Trade Center both took off from Logan Airport in Boston.
