this was clearly not an integration of the university of oklahoma law school and to be honest, this is not true integration of the university of oklahoma law school, but it reflects on the fact that there is this tension going on throughout the south against african-american entry into various schools. this was considered a victory and eventually the university of oklahoma law school integrated. but not without some difficulty. not without considerable difficulty. nonetheless, it was argued that the integration of these law schools, the professional schools, the graduate programs was fairly easy compared to, if you will, the 800 pound elephant in the room and that's public school segregation. public school segregation. i want you to look at this photograph for a minute. this is a typical black school not only in arkansas, but throughout the south. racial segregation was the law of the land and a number of states across america but nowhere was it more pronounced than in the deep south. you probably see a number -- at least i hope you see a number of things going on. you can see there's

i'm jason be minute and i am the chair of psychiatry at oklahoma state university's center for health sciences our oath is essentially 1st do no harm and i think that that's one of the biggest problems is that doctors don't realize that by prescribe opioids. that they could doing more harm than good and we've seen that in a lot a lot of cases what were they originally prescribed for well historically the uses been for what we call cancer pain cancer does a lot of horrible things streeter body and can cause a lot of pain nowadays it's used for a lot of different things these pills. are found to no other drugs that are legally sold on the market share the same component a powerful narcotic heroin and sometimes they are a 1000 times more concentrated. the opioid compound comes from a plant called the opium poppy and these plants are really grown mostly in asia and then there are imported by drug companies into the united states but what we do with the pills is we take the good parts of the flour that you would smoke and we concentrate them in a little pill. and so the pills are much more

university of new mexico to join in the challenge. to vote tod them pass a resolution calling for all university of new mexico students to boycott oklahoma joe's. this was remarkable. these were mostly white students who said, this kind of racial practice is wrong and that boycott was so successful that not only was oklahoma joe's integrated, but long became the architect of a campaign to get a civil rights ordinance passed for albuquerque, new mexico. he did this while he was still in undergraduate school and while he was in law school he helped draft the legislation that would become the new mexico civil rights act. the new mexico civil rights act was passed in 1955. what makes this interesting is that some of the legal language of the new mexico act would eventually be integrated into the 1964 civil rights act that would govern the entire country. my point is that george long, and ordinary college student, would begin a protest that would have ramifications far beyond new mexico. far beyond albuquerque, far beyond the campus of the university of new mexico at the time, but long is not the only one involved. let me give you another exa

not see him as a tough person, but he had a rep he wanted to build. >> julius went to the university of oklahomaelf, i went to grambling state university to play basketball. i kind of reconnected with julius, may of 1999. and christopher jordan is with him. and i say, yo, j.j. that's what i called him, what's the deal with you hanging with westside? he's like, man, we just hanging. i thought something's not right about my best friend hanging with this gentleman. >> after chris jordan was arrested, he was taken by the edmond police department. officers drove him to the jones home where he sat in a patrol car and spoke with the police. >> they told him that if he would cooperate they would be more lenient on him. that it would be better for him if he helped in the investigation. >> he said that he and julius were going to go steal this car in edmond, this suburban, and julius was the shooter and he stayed in the car. >> so now, the police have ladell king in custody telling them that julius is the shooter. they also have chris jordan implicating julius as well. everything pointed to julius. >> the

i'm wondering how you're looking at schools and the university of oklahoma. whether or not the sooners are going to be playing football come fall. >> we certainly hope so. we hope that we've got football in the fall, oklahoma state, university of oklahoma will be playing, but you know, we want our kids back in school in the fall. again, oklahoma has been open for the last 86 days. i've been going to sporting events for my children. we've been fully reopened in your state and we haven't seen the spike in hospitalizations that some of the epidemiologists predicted. remember, they predicted we'd have 5,000 people in the hospital back in april and today we have 550 and we're 86 days into our reopening. so we want to reopen schools. i just used $30 million to kind of bridge the gap yesterday in case kids are working from home, have the technology needs and we set up different grant programs for underprivileged schools to help with the technology. leland: the learning gap between the underfunded schools and less privileged kids versus those who can afford the techno

. >> i talked to the university of oklahoma and similar encounters where in a formal occasion it wouldin in native language and switch over. another question. we have one coming in from andy. you mentioned learning through farm and ways washington would recognize. what did washington think about the ultimate possibility of that? >> one of the things we recognize today is assimilation in the way that washington and jefferson thought about it was in fact a form of i think that genocide is a very problematic term but it has several definitions many of which go beyond physical destruction of people. you can commit genocide by destroying their culture and the washingtonian jeffersonian view of survival for indian people was you can survive by becoming like us. if you don't become like us who are doomed to extinction. you cannot continue to live as a hunting society, not that they ever were, they were in agricultural society but washington and jefferson, the wrong people were doing the farming, indian women were doing the farming and you couldn't have that. if you alter the society so much t
