Timothy James McVeigh and Terry Lynn Nichols. On April 19, 1995, two years to the day after the infamous Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms raid on the Branch Davidians at Waco, Texas, a homemade bomb delivered inside of a Ryder rental truck was detonated in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 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.

  • Jane Jayroe-Gamble She Overcame Her Fears and Shyness to Win Miss America 1967, Launching Her Career in Media and Government
    Jane Jayroe-Gamble She overcame her fears and shyness to win Miss America 1967, launching her career in media and government Chapter 01 – 0:52 Introduction Announcer: As millions of television viewers watch Jane Jayroe crowned Miss America in 1967, and as Bert Parks serenaded her, no one would have thought she was actually a very shy and reluctant winner. Nor would they know that the tears, which flowed, were more of fright than joy. She was nineteen when her whole life was changed in an instant. Jane went on to become a well-known broadcaster, author, and public official. She worked as an anchor in TV news in Oklahoma City and Dallas, Fort Worth. Oklahoma governor, Frank Keating, appointed her to serve as his Secretary of Tourism. But her story along the way was filled with ups and downs. Listen to Jane Jayroe talk about her struggle with shyness, depression, and a failed marriage. And how she overcame it all to lead a happy and successful life, on this oral history website, VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 02 – 8:30 Grandparents John Erling: My name is John Erling. Today’s date is April 3, 2014. Jane, will you state your full name, your date of birth, and your present age. Jane Jayroe: Jane Anne Jayroe-Gamble. Birthday is October 30, 1946. And I have a hard time remembering my age. JE: Why is that? JJ: I don’t know. I have to call my son, he’s better with numbers. I think I’m sixty-seven. JE: Peggy Helmerich, you know from Tulsa? JJ: I know who she is.

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.

INTRODUCTION Oklahoma understands all too well the brutality of terrorism. The April 19, 1995 bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City is seared into the state’s consciousness and taught the nation that terrorism can originate within our own borders. The devastating consequences of international terrorism became a profound reality to the citizens of the entire country on September 11, 2001 when terrorists turned commercial aircraft into suicide weapons of mass destruction and executed the deadliest strike on American soil in our history. Just as the nation dealt with the aftermath of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, we now face a similar challenge to meet the threat of terrorism. In the war against terrorism, there may never be total, unconditional victory. Rather, we are in a protracted battle that will test our resolve and commitment as a people and a nation. There will be victories and setbacks, but we must have the will to sustain the pressure on our foes for the long-term in order to achieve measurable success. The State of Oklahoma has a responsibility to its citizens, as well as an obligation to the nation, to review its security posture and take steps to enhance security as required.
