Pope Francis' Day In The Big Apple

The pope's U.S. tour continued on Friday with a speech to the U.N. General Assembly and a visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum at Ground Zero, where he met with some of the relatives of people who died in the attacks.

Pope Francis will also visit with school children in East Harlem and celebrate mass at Madison Square Garden before moving on to his final U.S. stop in Philadelphia.
