Yes. NAACP civil rights attorneys Oliver W. Hill and Spottswood Robinson III were co-counsel for a Virginia segregation case, Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County,103 F.Supp. 337 (1952), that was consolidated with the landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education, (1954).
Davis was the only case of the four consolidated into Brown that was initiated by the plaintiffs, students of R. R. Moton High School, in Farmville, Virginia, who went out on "strike" to protest conditions at their school. Moton was so under-funded, some of the classes were held in a broken down bus parked on school property. The classrooms had neither desks nor blackboards, nor did the rundown building contain a gym or cafeteria. When the school requested additional funding from the all-white school board, their request was denied.
Both the Virginia state court and federal US District Court found in favor of the school district.
Hill was part of the core legal team that brought Brownto the US Supreme Court.
