Lessons Of History
The story of the Texas tragedy needs to be part of our national legacy because the decision-making that led to the 1937 explosion is the same type of decision-making that leaves dangerous old explosives and other hazards in today's classrooms, labs, closets and storerooms.
The Lessons of the 1937 Texas School Explosion encourages parents and others in every school community to break the silence about school hazards and to dispel the myths that excuse inaction.
