The following facts are taken from plaintiff’s complaint. On May 6, 1954, Bessie Adams and her husband became owners of the property at 119 E Street N.W., Washington D.C. (the E Street property). Adams’s husband took care of all financial matters for the couple, including all matters relating to the purchase and subsequent mortgage payments for the E Street property. Adams became the sole owner of the property when her husband died in 1957. Adams first met defendant Bernard Greenfield in 1959, when he inquired about purchasing the E Street property. Greenfield is an attorney and a member of the District of Columbia bar whose primary business is buying and selling real estate. Adams, a black woman, was in her seventies at the time and, she alleges, was functionally illiterate. 2
