From S. W. Canada to Lucile H. Bluford

Description: 

Telegram from University of Missouri Registrar S. W. Canada to Lucile Bluford, stating that he has no authority to admit her to the university. 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.
