Blind Vendors

Featured in Top Stories

Since 1937, blind vendors at the State Capitol have offered up snacks and other items while making a living for themselves. That contract would have been lost this year, if not for several legislators changing their mind and giving the vendors, like Matthew Jones, a second chance.

Children's Museum Highway 9

Featured in Top Stories

While energy is still the mainstay of Oklahoma’s economy, the tourism business has roared to life in recent years. With an economic impact of more than 6 billion dollars annually, tourism now rivals agriculture as the state's second-leading industry. That impact is felt in every county in the state--including one county along Oklahoma's Highway 9, where a small-town museum is providing a very big boost.

Anthony Shadid Obit

Featured in Top Stories

Oklahoma has lost a son and journalism has lost one of its best. We learned on Thursday that New York Times foreign correspondent Anthony Shadid died while on assignment in Syria. The apparent cause of death was an asthma attack, at the age of 43. A native of Oklahoma City, Shadid twice won the Pulitzer Prize. He's nominated for another one this year. Shadid worked in dangerous, complicated regions - telling stories of human struggle on the ground in the Middle East, bringing detail and understanding to ambiguity. In 2005, we did a program with Anthony Shadid, following the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the release of his second book. We talked about his coverage of war and the Iraqi people. Anthony Shadid leaves behind a wife, two children and a large family in Oklahoma. Shadid's former colleague at the Boston Globe, Mike Barnicle, said this about him: "Anthony Shadid was a reporter. He didn't tweet. He didn't blog. He didn't sit at home and opinionate about things that he saw. He was in the field. He talked to real people. He reported on real situations; in places consumed by violence....Anthony Shadid was a giant."

Norman Police Chief (Highway 9)

Featured in Top Stories

Whether by force of law, or by unspoken custom, scores of communities across Oklahoma once existed as "sundown towns". They were towns where African Americans were not allowed to stay inside the city limits after sunset. One of those cities has moved beyond its infamous past, as evidenced by the choice of its top law enforcement officer, who is now becoming part of Oklahoma’s black history.
