Listen in as Geoff Woodcox, Sloan Museum curator of Collections, and Jerome Threlkeld, Community Engagement Coordinator, discuss the catastrophic EF5 tornado that destroyed entire neighborhoods in the Beecher community. Letters from high school students' accounts of the storm are read aloud, as well as how the community came together to heal and re-build.
