April 19, 1995, a day that changed Oklahoma and that Oklahomans will never forget. A bomb exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.
More than 25 years later, Oklahomans continue the tradition of honoring the lives lost or affected by the bombing.
The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum hosted the 26th annual Remembrance Ceremony, beginning at 8:45 a.m.
The ceremony included 168 seconds of silence beginning at 9:02 a.m.
This year, two new exhibits are opening at the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum. One is from Broken Arrow High School students honoring the victims by creating art that is displayed at the memorial site. The students researched each person and created a piece of art honoring them.
The second new exhibit reveals how the community and the state came together to honor and remember the lives lost. This exhibit shows how strong Oklahoma is and how cities across the world now turn to the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum as a “blueprint to help them both recover and rebuild.”
Many Oklahomans remember the day the bombing happened. FOX23 reflects on those moments and the days after:
