The First Black Man Admitted To Oklahoma University in 1948! by MANNABBQGRILLS: 6:37pm On Aug 25, 2021
George McLaurin, the first black man admitted to the University of Oklahoma in 1948, was forced to sit in a corner far from his white classmates.

But his name remains on the honor roll as one of the three best students of the university. These are his words: "Some colleagues would look at me like I was an animal, no one would give me a word, the teachers seemed like they were not even there for me, nor did they always take my questions when I asked. But I devoted myself so much that afterwards, they began to look for me to give them explanations and to clear their questions."

So make we fry fanta undecided

Despite the fact that we're all Africans, blah blah blah undecided. This had nothing to do with Africans in Africa, specifically Nigerians, because it's non of our business and no one here has to worry about it too. Rather focus on the history of African kingdoms, their empires, riches and all of that, not these sorry and sympathetic Black American History.
The whites made most Africans believe the The Egyptian Empire was the greatest, they hid the main African Empire/Kingdom's history. Go and learn about them, and thank me later.

One more thing....... You're all free to quote and bash when I'm not on your side, as usual .

Black lives matter only in Western world not in black nations itself

What a humiliation! The black man have really suffered from the hands of the white. I'm glad he was able to let them know that is only the skin that is different, all other things are the same among us.

Staying focused in all situations matters a
lot.Success always lies on the other side of
pain.This man underwent real harsh
treatment in the hands of the white, but the
end was far greater than what he went
through.

Wow this is so powerful, reminds me of Srinivasa Ramanujan a great indian mathematician that even the British respected during their rule in India.

What I've discovered in life is to develop yourself to an extreme point of value where you solve uncommon problems, that would also be the level of your rewards.

Nice write up

The photographer's primary intent was the obvious treatment of the only black man in the university. The name? Ask Google!

That's why you own an Android phone and data bro, and the Google on your phone is very much needed here to bro......
There are also some teachings about them too on Tik Tok and even YouTube too. No one told me, I searched for them.
Try looking for the ancient Benin(Edo State ) empire, it is known to have built the greatest walls of all time back then..... Not even the walls of Jericho stood a chance. Try Google bro. It'll help.
