Oklahoma Activism in Education during the Civil Rights Movement

About the Collection

The goal of the Oklahoma Activism in Education during the Civil Rights Movement Oral History Project is to provide context surrounding the period of segregation in Oklahoma City as well as the events—both inside and outside of the classroom—that were involved in leading the desegregation efforts in the state. This project works to fill a gap in the literature, recognizing Oklahoma as a space for social change and the Oklahoma educators involved in radical activism during this time. Preserving these oral histories is an important piece that contributes to the history of Oklahoma and the U.S. in its totality. The interviews were conducted as part of dissertation research by Dr. Autumn Brown.
