Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)There were no "witnesses for the defense" in Brown v. Board of Education. A witness for the defense is someone who testifies in the interest of a defendant in a criminal trial. Brown started as a class action suit, a civil case where a group of plaintiffs with a common complaint take an entity (a person, business, organization, government agency, etc.) to court in order to change the circumstances causing the complaint.In Brown, the Board of Education of Topeka won the case at the trial stage in US District Court. The NAACP, which represented the families trying to end segregation in the Topeka, Kansas, school district eventually appealed the case to the US Supreme Court. There is no trial, and no testimony given, in an appeal.

It's not Board v, it's Brown v. Board of Education. During the civil rights movement, civil right leaders decided to integrate whites and blacks in school and the Brown man sent his kids to white schools. He got sued, and he won.
