A Civil Rights pioneer is the newest star on the ST. LOUIS WALK OF FAME. Last week, 98-year-old FRANKIE MUSE FREEMAN was honored at an induction ceremony to celebrate her accomplishments through a legal career that has spanned six decades. After opening her private practice in St. Louis in 1949, Freeman served as lead counsel in the 1954 NAACP suit against the St. Louis Housing Authority, which ended legal segregation of public housing. In 1964, she became the first woman appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and contributed to the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
