Remembrances of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing
Among the 168 people killed in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was Raymond Lee Johnson.
Johnson, who was from the Seminole Nation, was volunteering with the Older Native American Program at the time of the domestic terrorism incident on April 19, 1995. He was heavily involved in education and other issues important to Native people.
Cherokee Ballard was a television news anchor and reporter who covered the aftermath and the subsequent trials. And FBI special agent Walter Lamar was on the scene that day helping rescue survivors. He was also part of the FBI’s investigation into the bombing.
Tune into Native America Calling to hear stories about how the bombing affected the city with one of the highest percentages of Native citizens in the nation.
