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." Mukina2. Dominique. Mynd44 Seun. 12 Likes 4 Shares

So make we fry fanta Despite the fact that we're all Africans, blah blah blah . 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 . 2 Likes 1 Share |

post=105175148: 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 1 Like 1 Share |

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

coolhumble: 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. |
