Description: 

Memorandum on plaintiff's motion for extension of time for filing and designation of transcript of record and statement of errors in Civil Action No. 42: Lucile Bluford v. S.W. Canada. The memo was sent by Judge John C. Collet to Lucile Bluford, her lawyers, and the defense attorneys, regarding the plaintiff's request for an extension in their appeal. Collet decides that their application was made too late and overrules their request. At the time, Bluford was the managing editor of the Kansas City Call and her effort to gain admittance to the masters degree program at MU's School of Journalism, and repeated denials due to her race, lead to a a series of lawsuits that eventually reached the Missouri Supreme Court.
