Daniel Schuman was supposed to interview for his first job in Congress, as an intern in Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s office, on Sept. 11, 2001.
The recent Emory University graduate had come to Washington to see “how the sausage was made.” He left his unfurnished apartment that morning, got off the city bus at Union Station and started making his way to the Hart Building, only to see a group of people running the other direction and rifle-toting officers stationed around the campus.
It was a harrowing introduction to D.C., but Schuman wasn’t deterred.
