We Are Oklahoma Book Discussion: "Alternative Oklahoma"
LOCATION: Handmade, 732 W. New Orleans St., Broken Arrow
Friday, August 14
6:30pm - 7:30pm
Stop by for some homemade food and conversation about the lesser-known views of the Sooner State as we discuss "Alternative Oklahoma" by Davis D. Joyce. Registration is required. For adults and teens.
These decidedly contrarian Sooner voices reflect the progressive, libertarian and even radical viewpoints that influenced the state’s creation. Contributors talk of growing up “Okie and radical,” the legacy of Woody Guthrie in the Red Dirt music scene and the Sunbelt Alliance that helped to stop the building of the Black Fox nuclear power plant. They look back at Oklahoma City’s role in the early civil rights sit-in movement and at an Oklahoman’s experience with Vietnam Veterans Against the War. They consider religion outside the mainstream — and everyday women squarely within these unique expressions of faith.
