The LU Community is looking forward to the dedication of the Clara Luper National Sit-In Plaza on Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm, at North Robinson Avenue and West Main Street in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City.

All are welcome to join in honoring the courage and vision of the original 13 students and their teacher and LU alumna, Clara Luper. On this corner on August 19, 1958, they launched the sit-in movement that inspired people across the nation. Their dedication to peace and respect sparked change, opening the doors of once-segregated restaurants and businesses.

The event is free and open to the public.
