Homer G. Phillips, Esq. was a Howard Law School attorney, who led the fight to pass the municipal bond issue to fund this St. Louis hospital for black people in the '20s-early '30s, and to keep it black controlled. He was assassinated by two men, still unidentified, who, though caught, were acquitted of murder. Phillips' murder remains unsolved and is redolent of the mysterious disappearance of St. Louisan, Lloyd Gaines in 1939, a graduate of Vashon High School and Lincoln University (Jefferson City), who won the right to attend University of Missouri School of Law at the U. S. Supreme Court, that same year, 1939 but is yet unsolved as Phillips'.
