Honoring the Legacy of CLARA LUPER LEGACY FOUNDATION and the Courageous Oklahoma Sit-In Movement This past weekend, we had the privilege of standing with the Clara Luper Legacy Committee and our community to commemorate two defining moments in our history—the 1958 Sit-In at Katz Drugstore and the 1969 Sanitation Workers' Strike. These events, led by Clara Luper and the NAACP Youth Council, were not just pivotal for Oklahoma but also for the entire nation. They remind us of the power of collective action in the fight for justice and equality. Marching alongside some of the original sit-inners, sanitation workers, and Mrs. Luper’s daughter, Marilyn Luper Hildreth, we were inspired by their enduring courage and the progress we've made. But as we reflect on the past, we’re also reminded that our work is far from over. With Mayor David Holt’s announcement of new monuments to honor this legacy, we move forward with a renewed dedication to the ongoing fight for equity and justice. Let's continue this important work together. #ClaraLuperLegacy #CivilRights #CommunitySolidarity #SocialJustice #IMPACT405 #Leadership #Equity #OklahomaHistory https://lnkd.in/gcWXJqxH

It’s a winding path, sometimes challenging and uncertain, but always leading us toward growth and new opportunities. Along this journey, it’s essential to remember that every step, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goals. Each sunrise offers a chance to start fresh, to push boundaries, and to overcome the obstacles that stand in our way.

As we navigate the twists and turns of our personal and professional journeys, let’s take a moment to appreciate the progress we’ve made and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. The journey itself is where we find our strength, resilience, and purpose.

We’re excited to share the results of IMPACT405’s July 2024 shoe drive! Thanks to your generous donations, we’ve collected 54 pairs of shoes for men in our community who are experiencing homelessness. This is just the first “step” toward a larger mission. Our goal is to donate 365 pairs of men’s shoes by the end of 2024. Homeless men often face unique challenges. They are frequently overlooked when it comes to donations, yet they endure harsh conditions, especially in extreme heat. Proper footwear can prevent severe medical issues and offer a sense of dignity and hope. Your contributions are making a real difference in their lives. If you would like to donate to the shoe drive for 2024, please send an email to connect@impact405.org or contribute via CashApp $IMPACT405. Please include #mensshoes in your CashApp donation so we know what the funds should be allocated for. #WalkAMileInOurShoes #365Pairs #IMPACT405 #CommunitySupport #ShoeDrive #HelpingTheUnhoused #July2024 #TogetherWeThrive
