Bill Clinton to Speak on 1995 Bombing

Former President Bill Clinton will give the keynote speech Friday at a symposium marking the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, a tragedy drawing renewed attention in light of increasing concern about the tone of today’s political dialogue.

The event being sponsored by the Center for American Progress and the Democratic Leadership Council will also feature a discussion among political figures, former law enforcement officials and experts on domestic terrorism and extremist groups.

Organizers say the symposium will discuss the bombing, “how the country reacted to it, and what lessons we can learn from it today about our political discourse.”
