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)
On 17 Feb 2005, this article was nominated for deletion. There was no consensus. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Lloyd L. Gaines for a record of the discussion.
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)
I added his approx age at disappearance. It is commonly (if perhaps inaccurately) believed that he was abducted and murdered by racists, but no clues (and no Klan-type bragging) ever materialized, and Chicago seems (now) an unlikely place for Klan activity. By now, of course, anyone with first-hand knowledge is gone. Sussmanbern ( talk) 02:50, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
It is unclear from the article which law school has Mr. Gaines' portrait. It is not the school created by the Missouri General Assembly, the Lincoln University School of Law, as a result of the Supreme Court decision because that school ceased to exist in 1955. The article refers to "the law school" several times and that needs clarification. Having read several sources about Mr. Gaines, I think it is safe to say the portrait hangs in the University of Missouri School of Law, -- the oldest one. Slidhome ( talk) 17:51, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
