OKLAHOMA CITY NATIONAL MEMORIAL & MUSEUM The vision has been ambitious - to remember and teach. The world was changed forever on April 19, 1995, after the premed- itated attack by an American and his accomplices killed 168 innocent people, left hundreds injured and a community left to pick up the pieces and rebuild. This attack was before the word terrorism was on nightly news and even before social media filled inboxes. The Memorial & Museum was built through a community process where hundreds came together to decide what would become of the site. The process was as important as the end design. Today, the Memorial & Museum stand as a place of hope and healing and to teach the senselessness of violence through immersive exhibits, first person stories, interactive technology and artifacts. This ambitious plan has often been family members, survivors, first responders and community leaders opening their arms, embracing the world’s survivors and leading the way in helping communities heal, find strength, resilience and grow in the wake of tragedy. Lessons learned have been shared community to community. People have been inspired by the example forged here...Oklahoma City can and should continue to lead the way. How Oklahomans responded in 1995 in a commu- nity-wide display of unity became known around the world as the Oklahoma Standard. Despite this unspeakable tragedy, among the most lasting memories is the tenderness of the response. The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum gives you an opportunity to understand this important story.
