In celebration of our 125h Anniversary, we are making available a limited edition commemorative hard-back book written by veteran journalists Jack Money and Steve Lackmeyer.
With Cornerstone, The YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City, 125 Years, Money and Lackmeyer present a compelling, often dramatic tale of early day struggles to create a YMCA worthy of a growing boom town, it’s role in keeping the community together during the Great Depression, how such non-profits had to adapt to the Civil Rights movement and equal treatment for women, and it’s adaption to suburban sprawl and a changing population.
Packed with historic photos, Cornerstone, The YMCA of Greater Oklahoma city, 125 Years, is no ordinary recitation of a non-profit’s history, but is a story that will interest anyone with a desire to understand more about Oklahoma City’s history and the efforts of those who sought to forever strengthen its collective mind, spirit and body.
