Rubey Mosley Hulen (July 9, 1894 – July 7, 1956) in Hallsville, Missouri. Hulen served as Boone County prosecutor and was nominated to the federal bench on July 8, 1943 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fjc.gov/public/home.nsf/hisj )〕 In July, 1950, Judge Hulen issued a landmark injunction requiring the City of St. Louis, Missouri to open its Fairgrounds and Marquette swimming pools to people of color. ==Brown v.

Author Jeff Wiltse remarks that "Hulen seemed to be saying that a black swimmer who had to walk past a whites-only pool to get to a truly equal Jim Crow pool would not be receiving equal treatment under the law, as mandated by the Fourteenth Amendment." This is the essence of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, that a black student should not have to travel to a more distant segregated school. In that case, the plaintiff's daughter, Linda, a third grader, had to walk six blocks to her school bus stop to ride to Monroe Elementary, her segregated black school one mile away, while Sumner Elementary, a white school, was only seven blocks from her house.〔Brown v.
