Linda Brown, who as a Kansas girl was at the center of the historic Supreme Court ruling that struck down racial #segregation in schools, died on March 25 at 76, the Associated Press reports. In this photograph, Brown stands in front of the segregated Monroe Elementary School, which she attended. Her father, Oliver, had attempted to enroll the family in an all-white #school in Topeka; the case was sparked when he and several black families were turned away. The NAACP’s legal arm brought the lawsuit to challenge segregation in public schools, and Oliver Brown became the lead plaintiff. The case was brought before the Court and joined with others from Delaware, South Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia. In 1954, the Court ruled unanimously that separating black and white children was unconstitutional because it denied black children the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law, the AP adds. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision, which, in 1896, established a "separate but equal" doctrine for black Americans in public facilities. "Linda Brown’s life reminds us that by standing up for our principles and serving our communities we can truly change the world," Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer said in a statement. "Linda’s legacy is a crucial part of the American story and continues to inspire the millions who have realized the American dream because of her."
