Tri-County Scholarship Fund’s Post

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the five-year reunion of the LLM program at New York University School of Law. It was an incredible experience reconnecting with old friends, sharing fond memories of our time at NYU, and catching up on each other's professional journeys since graduation. The reunion reminded me of the strong bonds forged during our time at NYU. #NYU #LLM #Reunion #classof2019 #AlumniNetworking"

Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada (1938) In the landmark case Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada (1938), Lloyd Gaines, an African American student, challenged Missouri's refusal to admit him to its all-white law school, arguing that the state’s provision of a separate but unequal law school for Black students violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Gaines's favor, holding that Missouri had to either admit him to the University of Missouri Law School or create a comparable institution for Black students. This case was a pivotal moment in the fight against segregation, highlighting the inadequacies of the "separate but equal" doctrine and setting a precedent for future civil rights litigation. Following the Court’s decision, Missouri established a separate law school for African Americans, Lincoln University School of Law, but it remained inferior to the University of Missouri's facilities. Lloyd Gaines, however, never attended the law school, as he disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and his ultimate fate remains unknown. The case was a significant precursor to the broader civil rights movement and set the stage for future legal challenges to racial segregation, ultimately influencing landmark decisions like *Brown v. Board of Education* and contributing to the ongoing struggle for educational and civil rights equality. #LloydGaines #MissouriExRelGainesvCanada #CivilRights #SupremeCourt #LegalHistory #EducationalEquality #14thAmendment #RacialSegregation #SeparateButEqual #LegalPrecedent #CivilRightsMovement #EqualProtection #Justice #RacialDiscrimination #HigherEducation #JimCrow #CivilRightsCase #LandmarkDecision #GainesCase #LawSchool #LegalChallenge #EducationalJustice #BlackHistory #HistoricalCase #CourtRuling #EqualOpportunity #LincolnUniversityLaw #JusticeForGaines #SocialChange #LegalImpact #HistoricCase #CivilRightsEra #AmericanHistory #FightForEquality #EducationalReform #LegalRights #SegregationCase #CourtDecision #CivilRightsLegacy #BlackStudents #HistoricalImpact #PrecedentSetting #LawAndEquality #CivilRightsLegislation #EducationEquality #JusticeServed
