The stories of the first Black scholars to study at Oxford University are being celebrated on a bus tour of the city.

IF anyone had told 10-year-old me that I would one day set foot at Oxford University, I would have given them an incredulous side-eye in response.

The two-hour tour — titled "Civil Rights in Oxford Town: The Integration of Education" — is part of a slate of events at the university to celebrate the 60th anniversary of integration.

On a recent visit to Oxford and its 38 colleges, it was with great delight that I was able to tour the surprising and masterful St. Catherine’s College.
