Linda Brown

Linda Brown was a young African American girl whose involvement in a landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case helped challenge racial segregation in public schools. Her family argued that segregated schools were unequal and unfair. The case, Brown v. Board of Education, ultimately led to the Supreme Court ruling that racial segregation in public education was unconstitutional. This decision was a significant step toward ending racial discrimination and promoting equal rights in the United States. Linda Brown's case became a symbol of the fight for school desegregation and civil rights for African Americans.
