Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was initiated at the federal court level in February 1951, when Linda Brown was in third grade, but was not decided by the U.S. Supreme Court until May 1954, when she was already enrolled for fall in Topeka's integrated middle school. Only the Topeka elementary schools were segregated at that time; the middle school had been integrated in 1941, and the high school had been integrated since it opened in 1871 (although it segregated the sports and social programs).
Linda's younger sisters benefited more directly from the ruling, and were able to attend the neighborhood school, Sumner Elementary, just as Linda had hoped to.
Brown v. Board of Education put an end to the concept of Black schools and White schools, by ruling that segregation in education was unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. Although dismantling the old school systems took awhile, and met with resistance from some whites, African-American children began attending "integrated" schools.
