Brown+v+board+of+educaton+of+Topeka+Kansas

In 1951 Oliver Brown sued the Topeka, Kansas Board of Education so his 8 year old daughter Linda could attend a nearby school for whites only. She passed the school everyday on her way to the bus to take her to a black only school far away. After the appeals, the case went to the Supreme Court where Thurgood Marshall argued on Brown's behalf. On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court issued that **"Seperate But Equal"** is unconstitutional and outlawed it.
