When and where was Linda Brown of Brown v. Board of Education born?

∙ 14y ago
Although most published accounts give her birth year as 1943, the Kansas State Historical Society claims Linda Brown was born on February 20, 1942, in Topeka, Kansas.
Assuming this date is correct, she would have been 9 (not 8) years old when her father tried to enroll her at the all-white Sumner Elementary in the fall of 1951, and 12 years old when the case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas was decided in May of 1954.
At 12, Linda was too old to benefit from the ruling, as she was preparing to enter Jr. High School in the fall. The Jr. High and High Schools in Topeka were already integrated.
As of March 2010, Linda Brown is still alive.

Linda Brown (born February 20, 1942) was the child in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, which led to the outlawing of segregation in American schools in 1954. Linda has continued to speak out against segregation and reopened the famous Topeka case with the American Civil Liberties Union in 1979, saying that the district's schools still weren't desegregated.
