When George Henderson first came to OU, black students were on campus — but they weren’t apart of the campus community, Henderson said at a talk Monday. Henderson is a Sylvan N. Goldman professor emeritus, OU’s third black professor and one of the first black people in Norman to own a home (he and his wife were actually the first).

Henderson discussed a student-initiated group that founded the Civil Rights Movement at OU primarily in OU’s Bizzell Memorial Library’s basement. During Henderson’s time, graduate students were primarily involved in the movement, during which time the students stopped complaining about discrimination

celebration, Henderson spoke with students, faculty and staff about his 2010 book “Race and the University: A Memoir” on Monday. In the memoir, Henderson discusses his personal experiences on campus, such as seeing racial slurs scrawled on university sidewalks and mentoring groups of students who protested for change on campus. The issue, Henderson said, was that OU students of all races were together in one geographic location, but that was the only thing that united them. “How can we be accepted at the University of Oklahoma but not be a full participant?” Henderson said.
