From Henry E. Bent to Lucile Bluford
Description:
Letter from University of Missouri graduate school dean Henry E. Bent to Lucile Bluford, wherein Dean Bent states that his responsibilites at the university do not extend to admission matters, and thus her questions are outside his jurisdiction. At the time, Bluford was the managing editor of the Kansas City Call and seeking admittance to the masters degree program at MU's School of Journalism. After repeated efforts to enter the program, and repeated denials due to her race, she filed a lawsuit against the university that eventually was heard before the Missouri Supreme Court.
