Hero Highlight: Clara Luper (OKC) ✊🏾💛
Oklahoma has some real heroes in its soil — and this week we’re spotlighting Clara Luper, an Oklahoma City teacher who helped spark courageous, peaceful change led by students. 🧑🏾🏫📚
She didn’t just “talk about” justice… she helped teach young people how to practice it — with discipline, dignity, and determination. 🧠🔥
And that mattered for communities because it helped open doors that were unfairly closed — making everyday life more accessible, more human, and more equal in public spaces. 🏪🤝
One of the moments she’s best known for in OKC: the Katz Drug Store sit-in (1958) — a peaceful protest led by Black students and their teacher to challenge segregation at a lunch counter. It ran Aug 19–21, 1958, and it helped push desegregation at Katz and fueled more local sit-ins. 🥤🍔🪑
