LAD Brown Vs. Board of Education

Linda Brown a black school girl had to walk 1mile across a railroad switch to her black school although there was a white school which was much closer. Her father tried to enroll her in the white school since it was closer but the principal refused Linda. Linda's father went to the NAACP and together many other families joined to fight the segregation of schools. Earl Warren said that the "separate but equal" doctrine was not fair and the desegregation of all schools was ordered. Except home schools of course.
