The first African American to serve in the Nebraska Legislature (elected in 1892 and 1894) was Omaha physician Matthew O. Ricketts. Attorney Elizabeth Davis Pittman was the first African American to be elected to the Omaha School Board in 1950, the first woman judge in the State of Nebraska (1971) and one of the first African American women in the nation to be appointed to a judgeship by a state governor (go girl!)
Actor and Omaha native John Beasley, who has performed in many Hollywood movies, including "The Sum of All Fears," "Fried Green Tomatoes" and "Rudy," created the John Beasley Theater and Workshop. The facility includes a theater arts program and workshop that provides aspiring actors with the opportunity to expand and improve their acting careers.

The trial court did not err in overruling the appellant’s motion to suppress a confession he made while being questioned by police. The trial court did not err in failing to declare a mistrial or to conduct a voir dire of the jurors in response to comments made by a prosecutor during a sidebar conference. The trial court did not admit inadmissible hearsay testimony. No prosecutorial misconduct deprived the appellant of his right to a fair trial.
