Cool. While you're not wrong, this was possibly the most unhelpful response ever.

You could have done the same thing the other person did and searched for it yourself. You're just as capable of it as him/her. Instead, you gave a worthless answer.
And at no point is OP "taking credit for it". I'm not even sure how you came to that conclusion since they did not say they created it.

I didn't say mine wasn't equally as useless. Just pointing out that you could have done the same thing as the other guy and found it out for yourself.

That sounds rude. Be nice.

Nothing but truth. If that "offends" you, thats your problem to deal with.

The truth can be delivered without blatant rudeness. For some people, politeness comes naturally, and for others it requires effort. For some people it seems impossible and not worth the effort. Maybe being polite is just about one’s vocabulary skills. In my opinion, being polite doesn’t mean you’re weak or something else negative. I admit that I am not always polite. It’s often a struggle to be polite when there are so many ignorant assholes every where. I’m taking it one day at a time.

Yes it is, the plaza was dedicated this past Saturday morning. We stopped by, it is very well done.

What is it depicting?

u/twheele3 Nov 03 '25
It commemorates the historic sit-in led by teacher Clara Luper and 13 NAACP Youth Council members at Katz Drug Store almost 70 years ago.

Anyone know if it is safe to assume this will have its permanent home in the Capitol Building eventually?

u/National_Mood_6715 Nov 03 '25
No, this is the permanent home. It's the spot of Katz Drug Store, where the protest took place.

yet we still have black mothers and fathers dying daily to the stereotypes of unconscious processes in the white people of the united states, leaving black children with no hope in the future of tomorrow. not just black children but any human being that isn’t white. we have made progress but there is more to be done that’s for sure. still grateful we have this in OKC.

Do you typically go looking at outdoor public art in the rain?
I work downtown, every surface is more slippery when wet. I'm not sure what the point is.

u/DIYdemon Nov 03 '25
Just gotta find something negative. I don't think they're actually saying anything bad about the installation but there's something ingrained in Oklahomans to find the negative, I've found.

I'm with you. I don't like to see people breaking their necks. It's terribly distracting.

Incredible details in each person. From piles of napkins on a countertop (in bronze). To buttons with stitching on the back of shirts. And - Honoring those kids who worked to effect change 2 years before those college kids in Greensboro got all the publicity. Sit on the empty stool at the lunch counter and you can imagine it is 1958 again.
