Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)Oliver Brown was the nominal (named) petitioner in Brown v. Board of Education, (1954); however, Brownwas a class action suit against segregation brought on behalf of thirteen plaintiffs and their children in the Topeka, Kansas, school district. The other plaintiffs in the case were Darlene Brown (no relation), Lena Carper, Sadie Emmanuel, Marguerite Emerson, Shirley Fleming, Zelma Henderson, Shirley Hodison, Maude Lawton, Alma Lewis, Iona Richardson, and Lucinda Todd.Contrary to popular belief, Oliver Brown did not initiate the suit against the Board of Education; the NAACP did. The civil rights organization then recruited African-American families who were willing to join the case.At the Supreme Court level, Brown v. Board of Education was consolidated (put together with) with three other cases that were collectively referred to as Brown: Briggs v. Elliott(South Carolina); Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County (Virginia); and Gebhart v. Belton (Delaware). The NAACP also brought a companion case heard the same day, Bolling v. Sharpe, that had to be considered separately because it concerned a school in Washington, DC, which operates under federal, not state, laws.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
