In 1958, teacher Clara Luper led a sit-in at the Katz Drug Store in downtown Oklahoma City. Now a bronze monument stands where that drugstore was.
One of the seats at the counter is empty, inviting people to join in and reflect on the courage and determination it took to stand up by sitting down.

Great job, Afton! Local artist Jessica Stout created this vibrant mural featuring the town's history. I wore my DX jacket in honor of my late friend Laurel Kane; she inspired me to get more involved a decade ago now. The town came together to raise funds to make this artwork a reality. #Route66
