On Friday’s Houston Matters: The U.S. Department of Justice is suing the state of Texas over its newly enacted abortion law. We learn more about the move and what it could mean for the law going forward.

Then, as the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches, we continue to explore how those events affected Houstonians.

We devote most of the hour to memories from Houstonians of that day, plus a conversation with local Afghanistan and Iraq War veterans about the unique challenges they face, and Houstonian Larry Catuzzi talks about his dauther, Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, who was one of the passengers aboard United Flight 93 that crashed in Pennslyvania that day. Lauren’s Garden, a 9/11 memorial in downtown Houston, is named after her.
