Clara Luper National Sit-In Plaza

Oklahoma City, United States of America

Clara Luper National Sit-In Plaza

The Katz Drug Store sit-in took place between August 19 and August 21, 1958, when a group of Black students and their teacher held a peaceful sit-in at a Katz Drug Store in Oklahoma City to protest segregation. This sit-in came as a result of Oklahoma's existing state constitution and previous sit-i

ns around the area and country. The Katz Drug Store demonstration sparked major attention and a bigger sit-in movement across both the region and country.
