Clark talks about his own education and how Debo inspired him in his own studies, as well as the legacy that she left behind. He also talks about his dissertation on the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma and explains how his father first met Debo when she was involved with the Oklahoma History Writers portion of the Works Progression Administration in the 1930s.
