    Trey’s Table Episode 353: A One Person Law School
    Sep 9 2025
    Before Rosa Parks took her seat and before Brown v. Board, there was Aida Lois Sipuel Fisher. ⚖️

    Her name might not be in every history book, but her battle against Oklahoma’s segregation should be a story we all know. In 1946, a young Aida was denied entry to the University of Oklahoma law school for one reason: she was Black. But she refused to accept that "no."

    What followed was a three-year legal fight that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, a battle that cracked the foundation of "separate but equal" and paved the way for the civil rights victories to come.

    On the latest episode of Trey’s Table, we’re serving up the incredible story of this fearless pioneer. We break down her legal strategy, the immense pressure she faced, and how her victory in Sipuel v. Board of Regents became a crucial blueprint for Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP.

    Let’s make sure her name is remembered. Share this with someone who needs to know her story. #AidaSipuelFisher #BlackHistory #OklahomaHistory #CivilRights #NAACP #ThurgoodMarshall #SupremeCourt #TreysTablePodcast

    Trey’s Table Episode 352: Isaac Woodard
    Sep 4 2025
    How does a single act of brutality change the course of a nation? On the new episode of #TreysTable, I’m diving into one of the most pivotal yet overlooked stories in American history: the blinding of Sgt. Isaac Woodard.

    In 1946, just hours after being honorably discharged from serving in WWII, the Black army sergeant was still in uniform when he was brutally beaten and blinded by South Carolina police. His "crime"? Asking to use the restroom.

    This story is a devastating chapter in the long history of police violence against Black Americans. But it’s also a story of how outrage can fuel change. The national outcry—led by the NAACP and Orson Welles—reached President Harry Truman, who was so horrified he was pushed to take historic action.

    This episode explores: ✅ The facts of the horrific attack ✅ The national media firestorm ✅ The sham trial that acquitted the police chief ✅ How this injustice directly led to the desegregation of the U.S. military

    The fight for justice for Isaac Woodard is a powerful and painful precursor to the movements we see today. His story is one we must all know.
