Abstract
This legal petition, filed in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, in January 1964, details a racial discrimination lawsuit brought by Wilbur and Barbara Phillips against multiple defendants, including real estate developers and agents. The plaintiffs allege that after entering a lease and purchase agreement for a home in Omaha, they were unlawfully denied access to the property due to their race. The petition claims a conspiracy to prevent their occupancy and seeks legal remedies, including an injunction, specific performance of the contract, and damages.
