I lived so close to Oklahoma for years but never heard this story. #childrensbook #truestory #24b4monday
Yes it was. And yes it is. This should be on all the class shelves as well. Very educational about the protest process while telling a great story that‘s missed in history class.

Clara Luper is another unsung hero of the Civil Rights movement. After a field trip to New York City where there was no segregation, Luper and her students return to Oklahoma City and cannot make peace with the unjust laws that forced them to take their food outside. ⬇️
White people could eat in any restaurant or at any lunch counter.
Black people weren‘t allowed to sit at those tables.
They had to stay outside.
Separate and unequal.
