The Sawners of Chandler: A Pioneering Power Couple in Pre-Civil Rights Oklahoma

By Hannibal Johnson

Juxtaposed against the grim realities of black life at the turn of the twentieth century, the lives of George and Lena Sawner shone like the blazing sun on an oven-hot August day in Oklahoma. Educated, professional, and economically stable¿well-off by most standards¿the Sawners lived the American dream, accompanied, periodically, by nightmarish reminders of the realities of race.
