  2. Oliver L. Brown Oliver Brown was the main Plaintiff in the case of Brown v. Board of Education while also being a welder, an assistant pastor, and an African American father.

  3. The Court Case Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional while overturning the previous court case Plessy v. Ferguson which permitted state-sponsored segregation.

  4. Brown v. Board • Took place in the City of Topeka, Kansas in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas • Argued on December 9, 1952 • Reargued on December 8, 1953

  5. Decided May 17, 1954

  6. "We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does."--quote from the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court decision
