Gaines and the NAACP challenged the university's decision. \u003ci\u003eMissouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada\u003c\/i\u003e (1938) was the first in a long line of decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding race, higher education, and equal opportunity. The court case drew national headlines, and the NAACP moved Gaines to Chicago after he received death threats. Before he could attend law school, he vanished.\u003cp\u003eThis is the first book to focus entirely on the \u003ci\u003eGaines\u003c\/i\u003e case and the vital role played by the NAACP and its lawyers--including Charles Houston, known as \"the man who killed Jim Crow\"--who advanced a concerted strategy to produce political change. Horner and Endersby also discuss the African American newspaper journalists and editors who mobilized popular support for the NAACP's strategy.
