From the image website, I found that Suman Raghunathan, of the New York Immigration Coalition, yells during a protest marking the anniversary of the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s special registration program November 17, 2003 in New York City. The post-9/11 program requires men from mostly Arab and Muslim countries to register with the government. In addition, 13,000 Arab and Muslim immigrants face deportation proceedings as a result of the program.
The image is representing the 9/11 effect in the American society. Because of the 9/11 fact, the government officials seem that the Muslim community is the outsider in this country and they need special requirement or commitment to become a citizen or become a legal resident in U.S.A.

9/11 Lighting Ceremony
The image is from abc news
Kin
Since, the 9/11 attack in 2001, New York City has commemorated the victims, firemen and police officers who past away during the onset. The tribute lights are lite on September 11 every year since 2002, which was set to continue to 2008, however, in 2009 it has been comfirmed that the lighting ceremony has been extended through the tenth anniversary in 2011.
The image is important because it reminds us of the attack that occurred in 2001 and the obstacle we have overcome. It displays the strength of everyone cooperating together and helping each other in a time of need.
