Someday Is Now: Clara Luper and the 1958 Oklahoma City Sit-Ins

How will you stand against something you know is wrong? One way is to follow the lessons of bravery taught by civil rights pioneers like Clara Luper.

Hidden Heroines: Someday Is Now tells the inspirational story of the celebrated Civil Rights leader, who led one of the first lunch-counter sit-ins in America. As a child, Clara saw how segregation affected her life, and her journey famously led her to Oklahoma where she and her students desegregated stores and restaurants that were closed to African-Americans. With courage and conviction, Clara Luper led young people to "do what had to be done."
