Linda Brown, Topeka girl at heart of landmark school case
Linda Brown, whose parents faced barrier breaking for equality, died at a Topeka funeral home. The Brown v. Board of Education case, joined with cases from Delaware, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington DC, led the Supreme Court to rule segregation in public schools unconstitutional on May 17, 1954. Her sister Cheryl Brown Henderson confirmed the death and said funeral plans are pending. The case overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, ending the separate but equal doctrine and shaping the Civil Rights era nationwide.
