The pic below is that of George McLaurin the first b|back man admitted to Oklahoma University in 1948, he was forced to sit in a corner away from his fellow wh!te men.

⁣But his name remains on the honor list as one of the top three students in college.

These are his words:

⁣’'Some colleagues looked at me like I was an an!ma|, 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 weapons.

That is one thing about life, just work on yourself and you'll see that those that did not value and respect you, will start looking for you. Thank you,

Life is all about yourself

For those of you who just made little fortune, just small, u run go carry woman for shoulder and fall in love at the same time.

majority of Nigerians believe that once you can get married and have kids you’ve achieved the highest level ever to be accorded to you in your lifetime.

Very myopic

Looking at the man, he is what we call an agba awo (experienced head) who was able to withstand the pressure due to his maturity and mental toughness; a younger and inexperienced Blackman might have broken down under the racial pressure to have stopped going to the school all together. Kudos to him, so many sportsmen still get bullied till tomorrow all over the world; and it ain't easy coping even now undecided undecided undecided undecided

Wow. You would know what he felt to you stand in his shoes. You will feel like people hate you, that you are unwanted. Only when you come out of it will show how brave you are.
