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 adaptation to suburban sprawl and a changing population. Money and Lackmeyer delved into a century of YMCA board minute archives, rarely seen photographs and interviewed several leaders who recalled the challenges and triumphs of some of the organization's earliest years.
