When Desegregation Came to Sand Springs (full film)
In 1964, ten years after the Supreme Court’s historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision outlawing segregated education in the United States, the school system of Sand Springs, Oklahoma was still completely segregated.
This is the story of how nine African-American students, backed by a Civil Rights movement campaign, prevailed over a white school board’s opposition to integrate the high school, their memories, and how they with white classmates came together fifty-eight years later to place a plaque commemorating the events in the school’s lobby.
Featured: the role of Harlem Globetrotters star and Sand Springs native Marques Haynes in the desegregation campaign.

Hugely important and many vets of the TAA have gone on to make very substantial contributions to the labor movement overall. This film should get shown to all the newer grad unions and their constantantly revolving members.
Important!
I was an undergrad at the time and learned so much from this strike - went to rallies in the freezing cold, didn't go to classes and really admired the dedication of the TAs to get their union.
Memories of things past. Exciting times. Lots of paper writing to make up for missed classes😇
I actually went to kindergarten at the Booker T. Washington school in Sand Springs.
Interesting! I almost went to grad school there in 1970.
