LAD 30

Linda Brown had to walk over mile to school every day even when there was a white school right around the corner. Her father talked to the NAACP in their area, and they started the proceedings of a case against the school district for not letting Linda go to a closer school. Thurgood Marshall was her lawyer. He successfully argued that separate was not equal and that segregated schools gave black children an inferiority complex that stayed with them for life. Earl Warren was in charge of the Supreme court and got an unanimous ruling in favor of Brown. This started the desegregation of schools around the country.
