A Brief But Spectacular take on living what you teach

In 1967, George Henderson and his family relocated to Norman, Oklahoma, where he became a professor at the University of Oklahoma. Up until that year, Norman was a sundown town that prohibited non-whites to be outside after dark and the Hendersons became the first African-American property owners there. He shares his Brief But Spectacular take on living what he teaches.

    Once in a while they forget and leave one open.

    Dr. Henderson is a treasure to the University of Oklahoma and Norman. I encourage people to look more into his impact to both and so many students. ❤️

    He’s giving a personal and honest account of his experiences. That we would all do the same, (and listen to others too), we could all learn from and better respect each other.

    Living what you teach is such a hard lesson especially when you are hurt by people who look like your oppressors. It’s an amazing quality of human to recognize this weakness and decide not make excuses and change the behavior even if those excuses are understandable. Also his children are brave confronting someone you love is hard.

    I had to click on 13 PBS videos just to find one with the comments enabled. If the public can’t voice their opinion on this channel then you don’t deserve PUBLIC FUNDING.
