In an attempt to stop the Park View Heights Corporation from building an integrated housing complex in Black Jack, Missouri, the city adopted a zoning ordinance forbidding multiple family dwellings. U. S. District Judge James H. Meredith accepted the city's denial of racial motivation but the U. S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals overthrew that decision and struck down the ordinance. Includes court documents, memoranda and newsclippings.
