Phillips led the Urban League chapter in Grand Rapids through the turbulent civil rights struggles of the 1950s and 1960s, serving as a calm and strong force against racial discrimination. A state record-setter in track, Phillips earned a scholarship to Marquette University and later got his master’s degree at Fisk. When Phillips took over the Grand Rapids Urban League in 1946, most restaurants refused to serve blacks, and they were denied skilled jobs and red-lined into poor neighborhoods. But using patient persuasion—“an inch here and an inch there”--he changed attitudes. “Patiently, doggedly, Paul intelligently, he countered every argument against integration, dissuaded those who called for violence, did his homework, kept his finger no the pulse of Phillips his town, and slowly became the single most important force for racial justice Grand Rapids has ever known,” Monsignor Hugh Beahan wrote upon CHS 1932 Phillips’ death in 1976. In 1972, Phillips received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Grand Valley State College. Phillips also became the first African-American elected to the school board in Grand Rapids, held several other local offices and advised President Gerald R. Ford onmatters of race. His legacy lives on in Grand Rapids, where the recreation center at the Boys and Girls Club is named in his honor.

As a crusading young prosecuting attorney in 1930s Omaha, Smith helped break the grip of the political machine that long controlled the city. After graduating from Central and then Harvard Law School, Smith returned to his hometown in 1929 as an assistant U.S. attorney. In that role, the prosecutor took on Tom Dennison, the underworld boss whose political machine and crime syndicate had gripped Omaha for over three decades. In 1932, the 27-year-old Smith risked his own life to bring criminal indictments against Dennison and 58 associates on charges of conspiracy and violation Edson of the Prohibition Act. A fixed jury spared Dennison from conviction, but he lost in the court of public opinion. After the trial publicly exposed Smith Dennison’s bootlegging, gambling, violence, protection payments and network of dirty cops, a reform ticket at the next year’s election swept the machine CHS 1922 out of power. Smith soon after resigned and spent a half century in private practice, three times arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court. He died in 1988, but his legal legacy has lived on. His two daughters also followed him into law, one becoming the first woman to serve as a federal judge in ebraska.N

Thomas used his financial acumen to help build ConAgra Inc. into one of the world’s biggest food companies and one of Omaha’s most significant employers. After obtaining a master’s degree in finance, Thomas went to work in 1960 at Nebraska Consolidated Mills, then a small grain ompanyc with annual sales of $50 million. In those early years, he served as the company’s finance department and personnel department, ran a millin Sheridan, Wyoming and helped clean the offices on Saturdays. In 1969, he became the company’s vice president of finance and added the titles of treasurer in 1974 Lawrence and corporate secretary in 1991, effectively serving as a key right-hand man to ConAgra’s CEO. By the time Thomas retired in 1996 after 36 years with Thomas the company, ConAgra boasted annual sales of $25 billion and was the fourth-largest international foods company. Beyond ConAgra, Thomas quietly CHS 1954 and generously lent his talents to countless Omaha nonprofits, among them Salvation Army, Omaha Community Playhouse, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Methodist Hospital, United Way, Boy Scouts, Omaha YMCA, Omaha Symphony, Omaha Public Library and Joslyn Art Museum. Given his background, it comes as no surprise he served many of those organizations as treasurer.
