Spotlight Prize – Unsung Hero Introducing Clara Luper
Civil Rights Leader and Educator
Clara Luper, a trailblazing educator and civil rights leader, is best known for spearheading the 1958 Oklahoma City sit-in movement, a pivotal moment in desegregating public accommodations. Born in rural Oklahoma, Luper overcame the barriers of segregation to become the first African American graduate student in history at the University of Oklahoma. As the advisor to the Oklahoma City NAACP Youth Council, she mentored young activists and led nonviolent protests that successfully desegregated hundreds of establishments. Beyond her activism, Luper spent 41 years as a history teacher, inspiring generations to fight for justice.
ARTEFFECT projects submitted to the competition that interpret the life and legacy of Clara Luper are eligible for the Spotlight Prize category.
