The timeline below explores the life of Charlye Ola Farris in context with the Civil Rights Movement. The timeline was part of an exhibition on view across Wichita Falls from January to March 2022.

Farris, a Wichita Falls native, holds the distinction of becoming the first African-American woman licensed to practice law in Texas.
