This has the makings of an extremely good article. It needs serious cleanup, and it has editorializing. I'm also going to look into whether there's a possible copyvio going on here. Hydriotaphia 08:45, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

After doing some googling, I haven't been able to find any copyvio. Looks like this is an original. Hydriotaphia 08:49, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

The accuracy of information needs to be checked. The article indicates that Lloyd Gaines disappeared on March 19, 1939. I think it was later than that.

The Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in December, 1938, and remanded the case to the Supreme Court of Missouri. On August 1, 1939, the Supreme Court of Missouri ordered a hearing to be held, so that it could be determined whether the newly-created law school at Lincoln University (for blacks) was equal to the law school at the University of Missouri (for whites). State ex rel. Gaines v. Canada, 344 Mo. 1238, 131 S.W.2d 217 (1939).

If Gaines had disappeared 6 months previously, it seems unlikely that the court would have proceeded with the case. I do not recall the citation at this point, but I recall reading that the hearing was set for October, 1939, and that Gaines disappeared a few weeks prior to that.

The proposed topic is appropriate, but it needs better citations.

is it safe to say that he was probably murdered by someone? 24.147.127.44 (talk) 16:30, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
