Clara Luper: Conversation with Danielle Pullen about Dear Langston's Famous Alumni's 100th Birthday Celebration

There are upcoming celebrations for our Clara Luper, and Danielle Pullen from Oklahoma City University is kind enough to stop by the podcast and talk about the May 3 from the Clara Luper Legacy commitee event, Unity in the Community. The celebration is May 3rd at the Oklahoma State Capitol starts at 9:00 am, and the program will proceed from 10:00 -11:00 am. The audio clip I reference where Clara Luper talks about Langston is from her radio show, which you can listen to on the Oklahoma Historical Society Youtube. On May 1, the Oklahoma History Center will host a Clara Luper Birthday Celebration in honor of her 100th birthday. The event will last from 6-8 p.m. and include a discussion panel facilitated by Dr. Karlos Hill, regents’ professor in the Clara Luper Department of African and African-American Studies at the University of Oklahoma. Members of the panel discussion will include Clara Luper’s daughter, Marilyn Luper Hildreth, and members of the Clara Luper Legacy Committee. This event will focus on celebrating her life and legacy, keeping her story alive for future generations. The event is free to attend, but registration is required as space is limited.
