Terrorism in the Heartland: Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City

Online | Registration opens 1/8/2025 12:00 AM CST

During the span of three years, August 1992 to April 1995, our nation witnessed the assault of federal forces against U.S. civilians at three locations: Ruby Ridge, Waco and Oklahoma City. These separate events have been linked by media reports and publications based on several themes: freedom, religion and guns. From the distance of 30 years, we will explore the individuals and the decision making that led to so much death and destruction in the heartland of America. We will pierce the headlines of history and discover what really happened.
