Good Workers, Government Workers: Public Memory and the Murrah Building Bombing

A monumental twelve-foot-by-fifteen-foot quilt commemorating eighty-nine federal workers murdered in the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995 was the result of a collaborative, nationwide effort organized by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). Originally intended for the newly rebuilt federal building in Oklahoma City, the quilt was instead added to the collections of the MSU Museum, where it has been stored for twenty-five years. A new exhibit of the quilt opens this October at the MSU Union.
