Linda Brown Thompson, who as a young girl was the student at the center of the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education that declared school segregation unconstitutional, has died in Topeka, Kansas. She was 76.
The Peaceful Rest Funeral Chapel in Topeka confirmed it is handling funeral arrangements for Brown.
Born in 1943, Brown was in third grade in 1950 when she was denied admission to an all-white elementary school in her hometown of Topeka. She lived 20 blocks from her segregated school, but just five blocks from the all-white school. Kansas schools at the time were segregated by state law.
No cause of death mentioned. Amazing how one person can make that big a difference. RIP.
