Description

Oklahoma City’s African American community, from the start of the settlement of the Oklahoma Territory in 1891, placed a high priority on education. Established on January 5, 1891, Frederick A. Douglass High School changed into an Oklahoma City institution that produced scholars, educators, military heroes, musicians, athletes, attorneys, firefighting experts, doctors, national and international leaders in medicine, civil rights pioneers, or even cowboys. On the center of this substantial pool of achievers stood one man, Frederick Douglass Moon, the longest-serving principal On the school. His vision established the winning model that produced students who may compete anyplace on this planet with their talents, skills, and information. Countless legends and icons attended the varsity, including Charlie Christian, Ralph Ellison, Jimmy Rushing, Anthony Watson, Zora Brown, Dr. Roger Countee, and others. This book showcases former students of Oklahoma City whose contributions still matter these days.
