Weigh in on the Mountain Meadow Massacre on AU Wednesday

The Massacre at Mountain Meadow is an event in American history that continues to fascinate Mormons and non-Mormons alike in Utah and throughout the country. Utah State University will feature several works of art about and inspired by the massacre this week in Logan, including a play, a documentary film, and a panel discussion.

On Access Utah Wednesday, we'll bring together author Richard E. Turley (Massacre at Mountain Meadow), playwright Julie Jensen (Two Headed) , and filmmaker Brian Patrick (Burying the Past). Your emails, posts, and phone calls are always welcome during the show.

Tom Williams worked as a part-time UPR announcer for a few years and joined Utah Public Radio full-time in 1996. He is a proud graduate of Uintah High School in Vernal and Utah State University (B. A. in Liberal Arts and Master of Business Administration.) He grew up in a family that regularly discussed everything from opera to religion to politics. He is interested in just about everything and loves to engage people in conversation, so you could say he has found the perfect job as host “Access Utah.” He and his wife Becky, live in Logan.
