Someday Is Now: Clara Luper and the 1958 Oklahoma City Sit-Ins by Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich
claudiaswisher's review
5.0
Wow...just wow. Oklahoma's own hero of civil rights has her own book. Clara Luper was raised to believe that 'someday' she and other African Americans could go to integrated schools, and drink out of the clean water fountains..she waited.
She became a teacher and inspired her students to write and produce a play that got noticed by NAACP...they went to NYC and they saw what integration should look like...parks for all, Arlington Cemetery for all veterans.
She and her children returned to OKC with the resolve that 'someday is now.' The book tells the story of the sit-ins at Katz, and how Clara and her children changed the world.
Inspiring and very accessible for youngsters
