This is George McLaurin, the first Black man admitted to Oklahoma University in 1948. He was fòrced to sit in a corner away from his fellow whıte men. But his name remains on the honour list as one of the top three students in college. These are his words: ''Some colleagues looked at me like I was an animaI, no one spoke to me, for teachers I didn't even exist, they rarely 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 stopped being invisible to them." Education has more power than weapòns. But they wanna talk about how violent Black people are? They wanna talk about who belongs in the space when #WhiteSupremacy. Has been the evil machine operating in America for 250 years. #History. Is so important because if you don’t know it, he would think differently around people who perpetrated these type of racist acts! #HistoryRepeatsItself let’s not make that let that happen! #WhiteTerrorism they also can’t allow them to remove all of our history either it’s time to deal with that too.
