Abstract

On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its unanimous ruling insuring that 7-year-old Linda Brown Thompson of Topeka, Kansas, would attend an integrated school. Last month Linda Brown Thompson's name was back on a Topeka federal court docket. In 1979 she and other parents had sued Topeka on behalf of their children, claiming that Topeka's schools remain segregated, the new Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case has already gone to the Supreme Court once and began a retrial on April 18. A year after Brown came the Montgomery bus boycott, three years after, the integration of Little Rock, ten years after, the Civil Rights Act. Brown tore down the scaffolding that supported legal segregation throughout the South.
