A word of encouragement during a failure (tragedy) is worth more than an hour of praise after success. ~ unknown
This wall of handprints is located in the Children's Area at the Oklahoma City National Memorial of the Murrah Building bombing which occurred April 19, 1995, twenty years ago. One example of encouragement came in the form of these tiles. Though, the gifts were a small gesture, the Children's Area now stands in remembrance of the power of their efforts. The small wall covered with an assortment of tiles, designed by children from across the country, stands along the Children's Area.
