158. Another example of the obstacles faced within the school systems can be seen in West v.
Bd. of Ed. of Prince Georges County, 165 F. Supp. 38 (D. Md. 1958). A black
schoolteacher, represented by Tucker Bearing and Robert Watts, sued the county board of
education to recover for denial of equal pay. The trial court found that all denials of pay
prior to Mills were barred by the statute of limitations. After Mills, she had been
classified and paid as a second class teacher. All the persons involved in that
classification were deceased, and the court held that she failed to prove her classification
was wrong and based on race. She had subsequently been reclassified to a first class
teacher, so no showing of her present ability was sufficient to demonstrate that the earlier
classification had been wrong and she was not suffering any present harm.
