On October 5, 1976, a landmark case would be argued before the US Supreme Court. Craig v. Boren held that there were discriminatory practices in Oklahoma’s liquor laws, barring men from purchasing liquor until the age of 21 while women could buy at 18. This case, which began on the historic Strip in Stillwater, Oklahoma, would define the work of ACLU lawyer and future Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Presented by Anna Davis, editor of The Chronicles of Oklahoma at the Oklahoma Historical Society, this session explores the history of the landmark case and how it changed the landscape of all gender-based legislation.
This presentation was part of “Perspectives in History”: The Oklahoma History Symposium held May 4, 2024, at the Oklahoma History Center.
