African-American History

Testimonials

Exhibits available

" When I first saw Jane Prince-Toy’s display of the African-American experience in the USA, I was overwhelmed with feelings of sadness. I kept asking how could humans treat other humans this way? I was then told by an African American that “Whites” did not believe that African-Americans were (in some cases, “are”) human. The fact that African-Americans have experienced such unbelievable, endless, injustices and still contribute to the well being of their fellow Americans for so many centuries, tells of their enduring character and strength. All Americans need to carefully read and reflect Mrs. Janie Prince-Toy’s exhibit.

“Nations reel and stagger on their way; they make hideous mistakes; they commit frightful wrongs; they do great and beautiful things. And shall we not best guide humanity by telling the truth about all this, so far as the truth is ascertainable?” - W.E.B Du Bois

After a minister participating in a civil rights drive was fatally beaten in Selma, Ala., a freedom march was planned in downtown Oklahoma City. Luper appealed for “all groups — labor, religious, social, political — of every color and creed” to participate. “Many times, we have walked by ourselves; now we appeal to everybody. I want to be able to tell the people of Selma when I get there Monday that the people in Oklahoma City are walking together in peace and are praying for them.”
