People don't know what it is to be a champion. Oklahoma invented it. --Barry Switzer

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

George McLaurin, the first black man admitted to the University of Oklahoma in 1948 was forced to sit in a corner far from his classmates.

When he first applied he was denied based on his race. He went to court & it ruled that denying him was unconstitutional.

George W. McLaurin provided the Oklahoma civil rights case that irreparably damaged the "separate but equal" legal position established in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896.

Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in which the Court ruled that racial segregation laws did not violate the U.S. Constitution

The justices affirmed that McLaurin’s 14th Amendment rights means he must receive the same educational experience as OU’s white students.

He earned a master's degree from the University of Kansas and taught at Langston University, an all-black institution, until 1968.

Indiana living good. Their fumbles come back to them. Can’t do any wrong. I remember this type of feeling back in 2000 (also 2nd year for Stoops). Enjoy Hoosiers!

A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

@ChadPSmith_ @mattbegreatyt What’s good for the sport is not entitled, rich entities thinking the “wrongs” they experience are somehow worse than the wrongs they help impart on others which enable their own bloated, unearned benefit.
