CLARA LUPER

"50 YEARS AGO, OKLAHOMA CITY CHILDREN HELPED CHANGE NATION WHEN THEY SAT DOWN"

"On August 19, 1958, Clara Luper led 13 children into Katz Drug Store. They took seats at a nearly empty lunch counter. They ordered hamburgers and Cokes, but the waitress said they would not be served. They stayed for hours. They returned the next day, then the next, when finally they were served at Katz. "
