"God of the Whirlwind:
Horror, Memory, and Story in Black Waco"
Sunday, June7
10 a.m., Bethell Hall
“God of the Whirlwind” demonstrates the power of storytelling traditions to carry memories and shape ways of living by assembling stories from members of the Black Waco community – stories that have been passed on and that have sustained life in Central Texas. In a region deeply shaped by racial injustice and the horrors of lynching, one such story tells of a destructive tornado as the justice of God.
