Ungar is managing agent of
the building nt 299 Broadway,

"Your Loved Ones Deserve The Best"
Forgotten Heroes
Lloyd Gaines Disappeared
In Rights Fight Struggle
By JAMES BOOKER
One of the big mysteries that 1
has puzzled civil rights leaders
over the past S years is whst,
ever happened to Lloyd Gaines?
“It ia one of the weirdest things (
in the world. He Just completely
disappeared after we won the
U.8. Supreme Court decision,’*
former NAACP general counsel
Thurgood Marshall, now a U.S.
Circuit Court Judge, recalled to
the Amsterdam News.
Gaines* case was a landmark
in the struggle because It was
argued before the UJ. Supreme
Court and forced the South to
take action to improve the quality
of education to Negroes.
Lloyd Lionel Gsines, a native
of St. Louis, was a graduate
of Vashon High School in his
home town of Lincoln University,
Mo., and decided be wanted a
legal education in his home state.
He applied for admission to the
then all-white University of Mis
souri, in 1935.
He lost the case in the Missouri
courts, but his attorneys, the late
Charles Hourton and Sidney Red
mond, of St. Louis, pressed and
the nation’s highest court heard
arguments in 1937.
but Just as the case was set
for retrial in the lower courts,
Lloyd Gaines, who had been
working on a WPA project in
Lanaing, Mich., disappeared.
"We searched high and low
and kept the case open for ten
years, hoping he would show
up, but he never did”, Judge
Marshall recalled.
Rumors from other civil rights
leaders hinted that Gaines had
been threatened or pressured and
fled to Mexico, while others
feared he was quietly murdered
by Southern bigots.
Despite nil rumors, however,
Gaines has never been heard
Negro Deputy
Marshal In Ala.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - While
Birmingham city officials are
still seeking to hire their first
Negro policemen, federal offi
cials showed them the way by
hiring Elijah Hill, JrM a physical
education teacher here, as a dep
uty U.S. Marshal, believed to be
the first in the state. He is a
graduate of Tuskegee Institute
and a veteran of the Korean
war.
from In civil rights circles over
the past 25 years and his dis
appearance still remains as one
of the great unsolved mysteries
in civil rights history.
Gsines, who was SB at the time
of his Suppreme Court decision,
woo a great battle, but never
enjoyed the fruits of his historic
victory.

BC provides more lasting relief,
works so gently too. ,^^^—,
Reversing the Supreme Court
of Missouri, *he U. S. Supreme
Court, in a 6-2 decision, held that
Gaines was entitled under the
14th amendment to a legal edu
cation in Missouri equal to that
provided for white students. At
■ the time there was no law school
tor Negroes in the state.
Up to then, most Southern states
were giving free tuition and al
lowances to Negroes to go out-
of-state to attend schools where
they did not have such facilities
within their states.
Although the Supreme Court's
decision in the Gaines case re
versed the Missouri courts and
ordered the case back to a lower
court for retrial, in effect it
held that either Gaines must be
admitted to the University of
Missouri law school or a law
school must be established at
the all-Negro Lincoln University.
