∙ 13y agoBrown is Oliver Brown, the nominal plaintiff in the original class action suit against the Topeka, Kansas, Board of Education. His daughter, Linda, was a student in a segregated elementary school in Topeka and had been denied enrollment in her neighborhood school due to her race. The NAACP recruited Brown and twelve other parents to challenge the school district's discriminatory policies. Oliver Brown's name was used because the legal team thought having a man's name at the head of the list would give them a strategic advantage.
By the time Brown v. Board of Education reached the US Supreme Court, it had been consolidated with three other school segregation cases from around the country, and paired with a companion case from the District of Columbia.
