Jeff Davis With Gary Johnson Talking About Waco Massacre 20th Anniversary On April 19 2013 [M2lwZTtN5Dk]

Historical Importance of Waco, Survivor Testimony and Public Memory

Gary Johnson lists featured speakers for the Waco memorial, including Michael McNulty and Catherine Wessinger, while urging the public to attend. Jeff Davis argues that remembering the Mount Carmel massacre is essential to prevent history from repeating itself. He describes the Branch Davidian survivors as peaceful people and labels the event the darkest moment in the history of American law enforcement.

Clive Doyle discusses his book, "A Journey to Waco," which was co-authored by religious studies professor Catherine Wessinger based on 40 taped interviews. The book details Doyle's life, Branch Davidian beliefs, and the subsequent trial. Wessinger, an expert on millenarian movements, is scheduled to speak at both a Baylor University symposium and the survivor-led memorial service.
