"God of the Whirlwind:
Horror, Memory, and Story in Black Waco"
Sunday, June 7
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.
