George McLaurin was forced to sit in a corner away from his fellow white men


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 w.hite 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.
