One hundred sixty eight empty chairs sit in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City.
A little more than a three-hour drive from campus stands a memorial to the second deadliest terrorist attack ever on American soil.
On the morning of April 19, 1995, scores of people lost their lives in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. One life for every chair.
Pushed from the American consciousness after 9/11, the tragedy that unfolded in Oklahoma doesn't weigh on the minds of most Americans everyday.
