Linda Brown was the youngster from Topeka whose name was associated with the landmark 1954 Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, which ultimately led to the desegregation of schools in the United States.
In Brown v. Board of Education (Topeka, Kansas), the Supreme Court found unconstitutional the establishment of segregated schools to which children were assigned based on race. This presaged the end of the "separate but equal" policy and encouraged blacks in the US to press for the provision of equal status for all US citizens.
