In January 1946, Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher first set foot on the North Oval at the University of Oklahoma. What she did that day set in motion a three-year legal battle that would captivate the state, tear down institutional barriers and leave an impact on OU and beyond that remains today.
This is the first installation of a three-part
