After losing Wilson v. Beebe (1951), NAACP attorneys Louis Redding and Jack Greenburg brought forward two new lawsuits, Belton v. Gebhart and Bulah v. Gebhart. The cases were filed separately, both against State Board of Education members, including Francis B. Gebhart. These disputes were later combined into one case for trial.
