Timothy McVeigh, as well as his accomplice Terry Nichols, were accused of and, in 1997, found guilty of the crime, and McVeigh was executed in 2001. Terry Nichols is still serving his sentence of 161 consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole in the ADX Florence super maximum-security prison in Florence, Colorado.

The materials are arranged into the following five series: Non-Branch Davidian Incidents, Media Coverage, Investigations, House of Representatives Hearings, and Lawsuits. Identification: Collection 099 Extent: 20 boxes (10 linear feet) Language: Materials are written in English Repository: Southwestern Writers Collection, Special Collections, Alkek Library, Texas State University-San Marcos Lee Hancock Collection SWWC Collection 099 Historical Sketch On February 28, 1993 the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) attempted to issue an arrest warrant for Vernon Wayne Howell and a search warrant for the Mount Carmel Center near Waco, Texas on the basis of illegal weapons possession. The Branch Davidians in Mount Carmel and the ATF began a shootout that ended in the deaths of four ATF agents and six Branch Davidians. The occupants of Mount Carmel and government agencies remained in a standoff for fifty-one days until the FBI launched CS gas into the compound in an effort to make the Branch Davidians exit. The CS gas assault on April 19, 1993 ended in a fire in which seventy-six people inside Mount Carmel died, including twenty-three children. After the fire a series of lawsuits and investigations began, including the 1994 criminal trial of the Branch Davidians, the 1995 congressional hearings, and a wrongful-death civil trial in 2000.

  • Can't Turn Me Around
    CAN’T TURN ME AROUND: AN ORAL HISTORY PLAY by Julie Pearson Little Thunder This play is based on interviews conducted by Dr. Tanya Finchum and Juliana Nykolaiszyn for the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program at Oklahoma State University. It includes first person accounts from nine of the forty-six women in the interview series, who served in the Oklahoma Legislature from 2007-2010. Classroom curriculum and specific lessons are also included in the interview collection. To access written transcripts or audio interviews, go to https://library.okstate.edu/search-and-find/collections/digital- collections/wotol/women-legislators/ This is a public domain play. No royalties are required for performances so long as they are given free of charge. However, any public performance must include a program acknowledgement of the playwright. 1 A NOTE ABOUT STYLE This is a presentational play which can be done Reader’s Theater style or as a memorized performance. Posture, voice and various costume elements such as scarves and jackets can be used to indicate the change from actor to character and vice versa. Because this play relies upon these transitions for its theatrical effect, and to emphasize the fact that the women legislators lines are quotes from their interviews, I distinguish between actors and interviewees by listing one or the other first. For example: Actor #3/LAURA BOYD means the actor starts as herself and then presents Boyd. When the notation is reversed, LAURA BOYD/Actor #3, Boyd gets the emphasis. https://library.okstate.edu/search-and-find/collections/digital- collections/wotol/women-legislators/ 2 CAST OF CHARACTERS Bernice Mitchell and Hannah Atkins/Actor #1 (African Americans) Lisa Johnson Billy/Actor #2 (Native American, Chickasaw) Laura Boyd/Actor #3 (white) Audience member/Actor #4 (white) Kathleen Wilcoxson/ Actor #5 (white) Betty Boyd/Actor #6 (white) 3 ACTOR #3 This is how Bernice Mitchell started out in politics.

With only a few days left, it’s more important than ever to tell your lawmakers that Cuts Have Consequences by signing this petition. Our state leaders are contending with $611 million budget shortfall this year and scheduled tax reductions, which means cuts will have to be made. Our students simply cannot afford any more cuts. So please sign this petition today, then share it with your friends and family who agree education should be kept off the chopping block. If you can find five Oklahomans who also care about our students and will add their names to the petition, Oklahoma lawmakers will not be able to ignore the urgency and importance of this issue. There is power in numbers and if we stand together in this petition, lawmakers will hear us! There has been no public movement on the issue of third-grade reading and keeping the parent-teacher-school teams in place this week.
