Olson, Carol; Hagy, Joe

Reviews the efforts of Oklahoma to comply with the 1969 Supreme Court decision, "Adams v Richardson," which required states to desegregate traditionally White educational institutions. Concludes that Oklahoma has failed to increase the number of minority students in institutions of higher education but has institutionalized the principles of social justice and equal opportunity.
