He is George McLaurin the first Blàck man admitted to Oklahoma University in 1948, he was fòrced to sit in a còrner away from his fèllow white men.
But his name remains on the honor list as one of the top three students in college.
These are his words:
''Some colleagues looked at me like I was an animal, no one spoke to me, for tèachers I didn't eveñ exiśt, they ràrely answered my questions. I dedicated so much to myself, that after my teammates started looking for me and teachers started taking me into consideration. I stòpped being invisiblè to them."
Edùcation has more pòwer than weapòns.
