Linda Brown was the daughter of the named petitioner in the landmark US Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education,(1954). Linda was denied enrollment in an "all-white" school near her home in Topeka, Kansas, and was forced to travel a substantial distance to attend a segregated African-American school in another neighborhood.
The NAACP recruited thirteen Topeka families to file a class action suit against the city board of education in an attempt to end segregation practices in their public schools. The Brown case was consolidated with four other NAACP-initiated class action suits from different parts of the country. These cases were part of a carefully planned test designed to challenge the constitutionality of segregation in public schools nationwide.
By the time Brown v. Board of Education reached the Supreme Court, it involved quite a few plaintiffs, but Linda Brown and her father, Oliver Brown, became icons of the Civil Rights Movement.
Linda brown was important because she was included in a civil rights movement and helped african americans become part of our normal society.
