President Clinton views children's artwork at the site of the Oklahoma City Bombing |
At 9:02 AM on April 19, 1995, a truck bomb exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. This devastating act of domestic terrorism claimed 168 lives — including 19 children — and injured hundreds more. The story of the Oklahoma City Bombing is not just history — it’s a call to empathy, courage, and community. It remains one of the deadliest attacks on American soil. In the aftermath, President Clinton and his administration worked alongside Oklahoma’s leaders and citizens to bring justice and help the community rebuild. Join President Clinton and the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum for the 30th Anniversary Remembrance Ceremony, honoring the 168 lives taken in the bombing and the community that has felt the echoes of that day ever since.

“Sure there are differences of opinion and policies, but they didn’t tear the fabric of the community,” President Clinton said in a recent, exclusive interview with The Oklahoman. "Because what you went through taught you the fundamental decency and goodness of people could transcend their political party and allow us the space we need to reach out and live in an atmosphere of mutual respect and honorable compromise. That’s the sort of thing that gives life to a democracy."
