OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Friday marked the 29th anniversary of one of the largest tragedies to not only hit the state but the entire nation.

The story of what happened in the OKC bombing on April 19 stays the same, but it’s how the story gets told that makes an impact, and no one tells that story better than the Oklahoma City Memorial and Museum.

Good Day Oklahoma's Shelby Love took a trip there to share how that story is still relevant today.

Pawnee High School students visited the Oklahoma Memorial and Museum 29 years after the tragic events of April 19th, 1995.

Melanie Graham, the school counselor at Pawnee High School said, "The Oklahoma City bombing had a huge impact on my life because it happened when I was in first grade, and I really wanted to share that history with the students and for them to know this huge part of what Oklahoma is and what’s happened to us and why we come together as a state and just the impact that it’s had on everyone.”

For current students, it's a part of history that happened before their lifetimes.

Pawnee High School student Kate Sherrill said, "This happened before I was born, but of course my parents were around, and actually my stepdad, he said he was going to school in Choctaw and he said he had felt the bombing when it happened at his school in Choctaw.”

Moving forward, how can educators teach this defining moment in Oklahoma history to people who didn’t live through it?

Stephen Evans, the director of education and public programming, said that’s becoming harder and harder as time passes.

Evans said, "Not only are the students not born in 95, a lot of the teachers now were not born in 1995, so reaching them so that they understand that this is not just a historical event but it’s still affecting who we are as a people and who we are as a city and the lessons are very valuable. It’s just as important today as it’s ever been.”

Pawnee Counselor Graham said, "I think it teaches compassion to the students and also resilience because we do, we go through hard times and we’ve seen so many hard things in our state and in our nation and we see how people rally together and help each other out and come back even stronger.”

The Oklahoma Memorial and Museum said that they are a resource for teachers and families to tell the true story of April 19.
