Virginia NAACP DefenseSpottswood W. Robinson III was the leader of Virginia's NAACP defense in the Virginia case, Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County, which was one of five cases consolidated as Brown v. Board of Education, (1954).A companion case, Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U.S. 497 (1954), was heard separately because it originated in Washington, DC, which is federal, not state, territory. This case had to be considered in terms of specific federal statutes.
In the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, the court fees were covered by the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). The organization provided legal representation and financial support for the plaintiffs in their fight against school segregation. This case was part of a broader civil rights strategy employed by the NAACP to challenge racial discrimination in the United States.
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.
The Warren Court ruled segregated schools were unconstitutional in Brown v Board of Education, (1954), and ordered integration to take place "at all deliberate speed" in Brown v Board of Education II, (1955).
Oliver Brown attempted to enroll his daughter, Linda Brown, into the local school in Topeka, Kansas. They were denied entry so they took the board of ed. to court with the help of the NAACP and Thurgood Marshal. the US supreme court favored Brown therefore de-segregating schools.
