Notes from an interview with Ron Horn, (Typed Manuscript, 1 page). These brief notes recollect the decision-making process regarding whether or not to close the schools on April 8 and 9. This is likely Harold L. Holliday, Sr. (1918-1985), the first African-American graduate (’52) of what later became the UMKC School of Law and member of the Missouri House of Representatives. He was heavily involved in civil rights activism in Kansas City throughout his life.
