MAPS 4 will construct the Clara Luper Civil Rights Center to transform Oklahoma City’s knowledge of our civil rights history, and to positively influence the future of northeast OKC and our entire community. The new Clara Luper Center will serve as a civil rights museum for Oklahoma City. I The Center will be a community gathering place named for our most famous civil rights leader and enhance the public’s ability to learn about and understand Oklahoma City’s role in the national Civil Rights Movement to end segregationist policies.

The capital allocation is $17.1 million, to be supplemented by a $9.6 million operating fund to guarantee the long-term sustainability of the project.
