Of all the moments on the recent trip, one of the most... well... difficult for me personally, was standing at the Oklahoma City National Memorial. Oklahoma City is my ancestral home. I have a deep connection to the place, but at the same time, it is not among my favorite places to be. In all of our discussions about another relocation, Oklahoma has never merited any consideration. At all. But it is my familial "home" and as such, I will always have deep emotional connections to the place. On April 19, 1995 I was in Savannah, Georgia as a trained disaster response person, dealing with a small chemical fire that had taken place there. When we got the news of OKC, I planned to immediately go, but was told that I was not going be sent because I was "too close" to the place. I guess in a way I was. My grandfathers home was a little over a mile from the blast. Some years later, in early 2000, I was able to visit the site, but not before the monument was opened. So this past week was my first visit to the National Monument. It was sad; it was emotional. It was also frustrating. Above all of that though, came a question from an eleven year old boy who had never been here, who has any real connection to this place. He simply wanted to know, "Why?"

Kari Watkins, a third-generation journalist, became the Oklahoma City National Memorial's first staff member as the Communications Director in March 1996. She was named Executive Director in 1999. Today, she oversees the operations of the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum; one of Oklahoma's most visited sites and is Race Director for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon.   Kari guided 2020's signature educational/outreach/training program for the 25th Anniversary – Better Conversations. Through online and in-person programs, visitors experience a safe space to have candid conversations about tough subjects including racial reconciliation, collective memory, and uniting and moving a city forward.   Locally, she has been recognized with several awards including the 2000 Women in Communications Byliner Award, 2005 Journal Record Woman of the Year, 2006 Stanley Draper Award for Community Excellence, 2011 University of Oklahoma Gaylord College of Journalism Distinguished Alumni Award, 2016 Lee Allan Smith Oklahoma Legacy Award, and the 2017 John F.

Tomorrow marks the 26th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

On April 19th, 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City; 168 people were killed, and hundreds more injured, in what remains the deadliest incident of domestic terrorism in the United States. Twenty five years later, in 2020, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress that the United States had recorded the deadliest year for domestic terrorism since the Oklahoma City Bombing. Then came the January 6th Insurrection. America has a problem, it seems, and the problem isn’t new. But why are Americans attacking America? On this episode of “Who Is?,” Sean Morrow digs deeper into the nature of domestic violent extremism in the United States, and the history we as a nation must face up to if we are to confront—and address—the violence which plagues our democracy.  Alina Das, a Professor of Clinical Law at the NYU School of Law, where she co-teaches and co-directs the Immigrant Rights Clinic  Roudabeh Kishi, ‎the Director of Research & Innovation at the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project  Susan Neiman, a philosopher and Director of the Einstein Forum.

This is the first episode where we've ever audibly cried on mic. But when the topic is the soul-stirring Oklahoma City National Memorial, it's hard not to get teary-eyed, to say the least. Although the memorial and museum are heart-wrenching, it's also deeply beautiful and inspiring, and we walked away with a more optimistic view on humanity. This memorial—and this city—serve as shining examples of resilience, hope, and renewal.  Visit our website to learn more about the Hello Ranger Community, keep your eyes peeled for our social app, and read stories from our Hello Ranger Ambassadors.

In a matter of seconds, the blast destroyed most of the nine-story concrete and granite building, and the surrounding area looked like a war zone. Dozens of cars were incinerated, and more than 300 nearby buildings were damaged or destroyed. It killed 168 people, among them 19 children—most of whom were in the building’s daycare center. The youngest victim was 4 months old. On today's episode of America's National Parks, the Oklahoma City National Memorial, and one of the largest and most complex cases the FBI has ever undertaken.

Toby Rowland has worked in the Oklahoma City market for years.  A local TV reporter and sports anchor, Toby grew up, however, a lifelong Sooners fan with a goal of one day being the "Voice of the Sooners."  That dream came true in 2011 when he was hired on and moved from the sidelines to the booth.  Rowland's career has covered big ground in a short period of time since.  He's called a Sugar Bowl, a CFB Playoff and a Final Four.  He's seen awesome matchups of Bedlam and record rushing performances.  Toby talks about all of it on this week's PXPCast.  This episode was taped in Norman, OK before OU took on Ball State in basketball and earlier in the day I had the chance to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial.  That also sparked some conversation as well about that day in 1995 when the nation was shaken to its core.
