Read this 1985 interview with Linda Brown, where she reflects on how she came to be the plaintiff in Brown v Board and what the decision meant for her, and for others.
And remember that this decision came down not all that long ago. 1954. https://t.co/xP0QYu54jc https://t.co/3ELdODIReX

The Brown decision made America a beacon of hope to the rest of the world; it taught us that we could, through the rule of law, end a kind of oppression and race-based caste system.
Today we honor Linda Brown and all the fights we have left to win. https://t.co/roxvyVEMib

We want to remember Linda Brown, the woman at the center of the Brown v. Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court Case. The court’s landmark ruling in 1954 led to the desegregation of the US education system. #womenshistorymonth pic.twitter.com/2nWaBcUBk2

Linda Brown, the “Brown” in Brown vs the Board of Education (of Topeka Kansas) has died. This history seems ancient. It’s not. R.I.P. https://t.co/UgJQomsMls
