We kick off Black History Month with our Amazing Oklahoman -- a groundbreaker named Lelia Foley-Davis.

Foley-Davis was elected as the first Black Mayor of Taft back in 1973 and served until 1989.

Now, Foley-Davis does speaking engagements all around the country.

With all of her accomplishments, she says she just wants to be remembered as a servant to her home town.
