Luper’s daughter, Marilyn Hildreth, said late Friday that Luper’s body will lie in state from noon to 4 p.m. on Thursday. Her funeral is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at the Cox Convention Center in downtown Oklahoma City. Luper died Wednesday at the age of 88 after a lengthy illness. Luper led a sit-in at the Katz Drug Store lunch counter in downtown Oklahoma City on Aug. 15, 1958. The store refused to serve the group but the protesters refused to leave, and the sit-in lasted for several days. The store chain eventually agreed to integrate lunch counters at 38 Katz Drug Stores in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Iowa.
