This mission is accomplished through a partnership with private citizens wishing to leave their footprint in our state's rich history. Education and Development In 2009 and 2010 Friends of the Capitol (FOC) participated in several educational and developmental projects informing fellow Oklahomans of the beauty of the capitol and how they can participate in the continuing renovations of Oklahoma State Capitol building. In March of 2010, FOC representatives made a trip to Elk City and met with several organizations within the community and illustrated all the new renovations funded by Friends of the Capitol supporters. Additionally in 2009 FOC participated in the State Superintendent’s encyclo-media conference and in February 2010 FOC participated in the Oklahoma City Public Schools’ Professional Development Day. We had the opportunity to meet with teachers from several different communities in Oklahoma, and we were pleased to inform them about all the new restorations and how their school’s name can be engraved on a 15”x30”paver, and placed below the Capitol’s south steps in the Centennial Memorial Plaza to be admired by many generations of Oklahomans.

Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher and Her Fight to End Segregation
Cheryl Elizabeth Brown Wattley. 2014. A Step Toward Brown v. Board of Education: Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher and Her Fight to End Segregation. University of Oklahoma Press, pp. 328. Cheryl Elizabeth Brown Wattley is Professor of Law and Director of Experiential Learning at the University of North Texas, Dallas, College of Law. She previously taught at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where she first began her research into the life and case of Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher. Having had the privilege of being taught by Professor Wattley during her time at OU Law, I was able to observe and experience first-hand her fascination and respect of Sipuel Fisher’s life and the legal impact that she and her case had in the assault on segregation. Wattley has compiled her years of research about the case and the plaintiff, which now shines through in this insightful and intelligently written text. She is able to capture not only the historical and ground-breaking impact of Sipuel v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma et al., but also the unassuming but powerfully driven individual behind the cause. Sipeul Fisher wanted nothing more than to receive a quality legal education and accomplish her dream of becoming an attorney and was willing to do whatever it took to accomplish that goal, even if it meant enduring years of self-sacrifice, frustration, setbacks, and personal turmoil in order to pave the way for others to also accomplish their dreams and to ultimately further her society and nation as a whole. Along with chronicling Sipuel Fisher’s three-year battle she undertook from 1946-1949 to break the color barrier and attend OU Law, the author also examines the overall racial climate of the town of Norman, Oklahoma, the state, and even the nation as a whole during the early to 126 OKLAHOMA POLITICS / November 2015 mid-1900’s.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche. All of these sites comprise an invaluable resource for learning about Oklahoma’s remarkable and diverse The Clovis people lived Native American heritage. in Oklahoma at the Given the distribution and ages of studies sites, Okla- homa was widely inhabited during prehistory.
