In this case, Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher wanted to enforce the ruling made in Sipuel v. Board of Regents, which said that Oklahoma had to provide her an equal education to conform to the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Instead of admitting Sipuel Fisher to the University of Oklahoma’s (OU) Law School, the State Board of Regents had quickly created the Langston University Law School for Black students, an under-staffed and under-supported program consisting of two part-time faculty who would meet students in the State Capital’s Senate rooms. Sipuel Fisher’s lawyers sued, claiming this “law school” would not provide Black students an education equal to that which OU’s white students received. Unsurprisingly, the Cleveland County District Court disagreed and ruled against Sipuel Fisher saying the schools were indeed “equal.” Oklahoma’s Supreme Court upheld this finding. Sipuel Fisher’s lawyers decided to appeal to the United States Supreme Court. With this pressure on the state to give Sipuel Fisher an equal education or face another Supreme Court appeal, Sipuel Fisher was finally admitted to OU’s College of Law more than three years after her first application. Black students refused to attend Langston University’s under-resourced law school, and that program soon closed. Sipuel Fisher was initially outcast at OU, being forced to sit in “colored” seating in classrooms and the cafeteria. Some of her white classmates were welcoming, however, and would sit with her in the “colored” section, or otherwise help her feel included, until school segregation was outlawed in 1950. In 1952, Sipuel Fisher graduated. She practiced law for a few years, and then joined Langston University’s faculty in 1957, becoming chair of their Department of Social Sciences. In 1992, Oklahoma Governor David Walters appointed Sipuel Fisher to the Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, the body which had denied her application so many years ago. [308 words]
