An Oklahoma City post office is now named in honor of a civil rights icon. A dedication ceremony was held Saturday to name the location near Northwest Sixth Street and Harvey Avenue after Clara Luper. Luper and thirteen others staged a sit-in at Katz Drug Store in 1958, which led to other civil rights protests in the Southern U.S. At the ceremony, Luper's daughter said young people throughout the nation would have never stood up if her mother had not sat down.
