  • Elizabeth D. Pittman: Black Legal Pioneer in the Midlands
    ELIZABETH D. PITTMAN: BLACK LEGAL PIONEER IN THE MIDLANDS J. CLAY SMITH, JR.t During the 1973 commencement, Creighton University honored Elizabeth Davis Pittman for "pioneering accomplishments in her pro- fession and her community."1 The honorary doctorate bestowed on Pittman was in recognition of a life of achievements. The citation noted that Pittman was the first black woman to graduate from Creighton University School of Law, to get elected to public office in 2 Omaha, to get appointed as deputy county attorney and to the bench. Pittman's appointment to the bench was particularly historical be- cause she was the first woman judge in the State of Nebraska, and was likely the first black woman in the nation to be appointed to a 3 judgeship by a State Governor. f Professor of Law, Howard University School of Law. A.B., Creighton Univer- sity, 1964; J.D., Howard University School of Law, 1967; LL.M., George Washington National Law Center, 1970; S.J.D., George Washington National Law Center, 1977. This paper was presented at Creighton University School of Law on October 3, 1998, in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of Elizabeth Davis Pittman's gradua- tion from the law school in 1948, in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Black American Law Students Association, and the dedication of the Elizabeth Davis Pittman Building on the campus of the University. 1.

  • Omaha Public Schools Issues and Implications of Nebraska Legislative Bill 1024
    Omaha Public Schools Issues and Implications of Nebraska Legislative Bill 1024 On April 13, 2006, Governor David Heineman signed Nebraska Legislative Bill 1024,1 which included an amendment by State Senators Ernest Chambers and Ronald Raikes. The new law made a number of changes to the way in which school districts in the Omaha metropolitan area were structured and empowered. In particular, the Chambers- Raikes amendment would have required that the Omaha Public School District be divided into three. The new law would have become effective July 1, 2008 unless repealed, superseded, or modified by lawmakers before that date. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (the “Commission”) conducted a briefing in Omaha, Nebraska, on September 8, 2006 to get a better understanding of the civil rights ramifications of the Chambers-Raikes amendment and its effects on minority and non- minority students. The Commission consulted 10 panelists, including state government officials, community activists, parents, and other individuals representing a broad segment of the Omaha community. Since the Commission’s visit to Omaha, LB 1024 has been repealed and superseded. On May 24, 2007, Governor Heineman signed Nebraska Legislative Bill 6412 in an effort to address the issues raised in the Commission’s briefing as well as other issues. Rather than publish a report on what is now a moot issue, the Commission has elected to post only the panelists’ statements, their biographies and a transcript of the briefing. Following are the statements of seven of the 10 panelists who participated in the briefing. The following panelists did not submit prepared statements: (1) Senator Ernie Chambers, whose testimony can be found at transcript pages 7 thru 10; (2) Brenda Council, whose testimony can be found at transcript pages 124 thru 130; and (3) Ben Salazar, whose testimony can be found at transcript pages 159-166.
