OC's 18
March 6, 1969, 18 students courageously stood up to administration to seek equal rights. The group staged a sit-in in the President's office. As a result they were arrested and expelled.
Fifty years later, Oklahoma Christian University honored those who had been punished. On March 6, 2019, seven of the 18 students returned to campus and were received with a standing ovation and an apology from President John deSteiguer.
“And to you, as president of Oklahoma Christian University, I apologize for the way that you all were treated 50 years ago this morning.”
