Remembering the Oklahoma City bombing victims, 30 years after the terror attack
CBSN
Thirty years ago on April 19, 168 people were killed and hundreds more suffered injuries in the Oklahoma City bombing — still the deadliest homegrown terrorist attack in the history of the United States.
Their stories are preserved and honored by the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum, which pays homage to the victims by commemorating their lives and legacies while centering its mission around educational initiatives against violence.
"The memorial museum was created to remember and teach the brutality of the attack and the tenderness of the response. It's about teaching the story of the senselessness of violence," said Kari Watkins, the CEO of the museum. "We average about half a million visitors a year, and we work to teach those people to meet the people who were impacted, those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. It helps us keep this story relevant and alive."
