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.

  • ~Z:V.K Abstract Approved: Laf D the Civil War Conjures up Images Ofbattles Like Gettysburg, Emancipation, Or Soldiers Clad in Blue and Gray
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Eric Neill Oldham for the Master of Arts in American History presented on April 22, 2002 Title: A FOrgottend2le: The LO Creeks and Their Trials during the Civil War ~ ~Z:v.k Abstract approved: LAf d The Civil War conjures up images ofbattles like Gettysburg, emancipation, or soldiers clad in blue and gray. Historians write about great leaders and heroic soldiers, but still some figures go almost unconsidered. A forgotten people by many, the Loyal Creeks have their own story of the Civil War. This thesis uses both primary and secondary sources to create a historical narrative about the Loyal Creeks and shows their trials during the Civil War. Creeks struggled over question of allegiance and alliance as much as Americans, a struggle which culminated in a tragic and ultimately deadly intertribal split. This thesis reveals the reasons for the Creek split. The story of the Loyal Creeks did not end with the wartime division of the Creek Nation. The division forced those who remained loyal to the Union to abandon their homes and country. The Loyal Creeks escaped to Kansas in search of government refuge but found only a three-year struggle to survive at various refugee sites. Survival for the Loyal Creeks was a struggle because government aid was scarce at best. Hard, cold winters and lack of clothing, shelter, and food caused many of the Indians to die either from the elements or to become susceptible to disease that ultimately took untold lives. The Loyal Creeks' struggle with the government is not a new story, but combined with their intertribal split it is not only an important event in Indian history but in American history as well.

  • Document Packet Teacher's Guide—Forgotten Figures.Pdf
    DOCUMENT PACKET TEACHER’S GUIDE This guide provides a brief commentary about each of the documents included in the packets for the five forgotten figures that students analyze in this lesson: Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher Elizabeth Jennings Clara Luper George McLaurin Samuel W. Tucker FORGOTTEN FIGURES Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher Secondary Source: “Fisher, Ada Lois Sipuel (1924-1995)” This article can be found in The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture published by the Oklahoma Historical Society. Written by lawyer Melvin C. Hall, it is a thorough biography of Fisher that provides students with an in-depth understanding of the legal issues that initially prevented but ultimately enabled Fisher to be admitted to the University of Oklahoma’s law school. Hall also highlights the important contributions made by Fisher in the years following her graduation from OU. Primary Source: Excerpts from A Matter of Black and White: The Autobiography of Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher In the first excerpt from her autobiography, Fisher recalls her meeting with civil rights activist and journalist Roscoe Dunjee and NAACP regional director Dr. W. A. J. Bullock. The meeting was arranged to determine if Fisher would be up to the task of working to integrate OU’s law school. Fisher reveals that she knew that she would certainly be up to the challenge. In the brief second excerpt, Fisher recalls the moment when she learned that the NAACP had chosen her to challenge Oklahoma’s segregation laws. In the third excerpt, Fisher recalls what was for her the most humiliating aspect of her experience as a law student at OU, when she was subjected to “partial segregation” (see George McLaurin topic below).

  • Passion. Grit. Persistence. in 1949 Historian Angie Debo Wrote: "Any
    Passion. Grit. Persistence. Rilla Askew In 1949 historian Angie Debo wrote: "Any state of the American Union deserves to be known and understood. But Oklahoma is more than just another state. It is a lens in which the long rays of time are focused into the brightest of light. In its magnifying clarity, dim facets of the American character stand more clearly revealed. For in Oklahoma all the experiences that went into the making of the nation have been speeded up. Here all the American traits have been intensified. The one who can interpret Oklahoma can grasp the meaning of America in the modern world." Some fifty years later I wrote an essay called “Most American” that said very much the same thing: “Oklahoma is America. We are its microcosm, our story is America’s story, intensified, distilled…a compressed, ironically inverted miniature of the national narrative, unfolding in a matter of days and weeks and months—sometimes hours—rather than decades.” Well, I thought I invented that. I thought I’d discovered that entirely on my own. I hadn’t read Angie Debo’s wonderful quotation then—but I had read her histories: The Rise and Fall of the Choctaw Nation. The Road to Disappearance. And Still the Waters Run. I kept her books open beside me as I wrote. She was a white woman writing from outside Native experience, trying to gather all the facts, glean all the truths she could muster, and understand. To be honest. To be thorough. Meticulous. Relentless. In so many ways, Angie Debo was a pioneer, from her pioneer childhood in a small town on the Oklahoma prairie, where she’d moved with her family in a covered wagon when she was nine years old, to her pioneering work as teacher, writer, historian.
