What did Linda Brown have to do?
Linda Brown, the little girl most closely associated with the US Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, (1954), experienced discrimination because she was forced to attend a segregated school for African-Americans rather than enroll in the "white" school in her Topeka, Kansas, neighborhood.According to various accounts, Linda had to walk several blocks past her neighborhood school to get to her bus stop, then rode for 20-30 minutes before arriving at the building. The school Linda attended was not alleged to be inferior to the "white" school but was quite far from her house, whereas the other school was just a short walk from her home in an integrated neighborhood. Linda couldn't understand why she could play with her white friends in the afternoon and on weekends, but was prohibited from attending the same school.The NAACP was in the process of organizing a civil suit against the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, and asked Linda's father, Oliver Brown, to join the complaint. They also enlisted twelve other families, representing a total of 21 children, to challenge the school board's elementary schools' segregation policy (the Jr. High and High School were already partially integrated).The parents were instructed to attempt enrolling their children in the nearest elementary school to home, and report their experience to the NAACP. As expected, all 21 African-American children were denied access to the "white" schools.This is where Linda Brown's participation ended, and the legal wrangling began.Case Citation:Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)
