First Person Summer Series Features Barry Black
June 30, 2011
The Memorial Mission Statement describes the Memorial as a place that “. . . should evoke feelings of compassion and hope, and inspire visitors to live their lives more meaningfully.”
Join us this summer for a First Person: Stories of Hope program and hear from people whose stories not only meet that mission, but also allow us to experience history – and the Oklahoma Standard – from those who lived it. The First Person Summer Series, included free with Museum admission, is offered in the Museum’s Center for Education & Outreach on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. from June 3 to August 26.

An FBI Master Police Instructor, he provides specialized police training and technical support regarding explosives and post-blast crime scenes in the United States and internationally, and is a founding member of the FBI’s Evidence Response Team and Worldwide Rapid Deployment Team.
