Fisher’s original application was rejected due to segregation laws of the time, but after taking her case to the U.S. Supreme Court her rejection was ruled unconstitutional. Fisher later graduated from OU Law, practiced law in Chickasha, Oklahoma, served on the faculty at Langston University, and on the OU Board of Regents. | The University of Oklahoma | Facebook
