Oklahoman The Brockway Center, a longtime civil rights landmark that was once within days of demolition, has been added to the National Register of Historic Places by one of the protesters who refused to give up in the fight for its rescue.  The author of the successful application, Catherine Montgomery, wrote the center’s period of significance beginning in 1968 aligns with its purchase by the Oklahoma City Federation of Colored Women’s Club.  Montgomery said efforts to add the building at 1440 N Everest Ave. to the register date back about 15 years when the women’s club sought a listing to help obtain city assistance in making needed repairs. She said that effort was blocked by then city councilman Skip Kelly.
