About the Book


Picture this, you're sitting in class, its 3.15pm, few minutes before the final bell and then you see an explosion!

On March 18th 1937, the Consolidated School in New London exploded, the school was sitting on some natural gas and natural oil deposit and to save money, the school began to dig a pipe into that natural gas and use it for energy for their school, even though the exact cause of the explosion has not been ascertained, however historians point to static electricity that ignited the blast.
Almost 300 students and teachers were killed on that day, the shake from the blast could be felt 40 miles away
This is the heart-wrenching story of the New London School Explosion-a harrowing event that forever changed the landscape of American education. The catastrophic natural gas explosion tore through the walls of the New London School in Texas, claiming the lives of over 300 students and teachers in a matter of moments.
With meticulous research and poignant storytelling, Morris paints a vivid picture of the events leading up to the tragedy, the devastating aftermath, and the enduring legacy of remembrance and resilience that emerged from the ashes. From the birth of New London as a small town with big dreams to the rise of the London School as a beacon of educational excellence, Morris explores the vibrant history of a community shattered by unspeakable loss.

From the frantic search for survivors amidst the rubble to the legal battles fought in pursuit of justice, Morris leaves no stone unturned in her quest to uncover the truth behind this tragic event.
As Morris guides readers through the journey of healing and remembrance that followed the explosion, she offers valuable insights into the lessons learned from this tragedy and their relevance to the present day.

For anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of the New London School Explosion on American history and education, "Echoes of Tragedy" is a must-read. With its compelling narrative, meticulous research, and powerful message of hope, Angela Morris's book is sure to leave a lasting impression on readers of all ages.
