Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher (February 8, 1924 – October 18, 1995) was a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement in Oklahoma.
Two years later, in 1948, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Sipuel v. Board of Regents of Univ.
Despite this, her classmates and teachers welcomed her, shared their notes and studied with her, helping her to catch up on the materials she had missed.
Her lawsuit and tuition were supported by hundreds of small donations, and she believed she owed it to those donors to make it.
She further stated, "Having suffered severely from bigotry and racial discrimination as a student, I am sensitive to that kind of thing," and she planned to bring a new dimension to university policies.
Ada Lois Sipuel, on March 2, 1944, in Chickasha, married Warren Washington Fisher (1916–1987), who was born in Paris, Texas, four years before the lynching of Irving and Herman Arthur.
They had moved from Dermott, Arkansas, to Tulsa around 1918 to help develop a congregation for the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) (Pentecostal).
The building was located at 700 N. Greenwood (presently OSU Tulsa), on the North end of the thriving Black Wall Street.
