Tw o sisters who were school children during the historic Brow n vs,
Board o f E ducation case will speak next week at O regon State U niversity
as part o f Black History Month.
Linda Brown Thom pson and Chery l Brown H enderson will chronicle
the history o f their fam ily’s court battle, its impact on education and the civil
rights movement.
They also plan to talk about the principles o t diversity and open-
m indedness in a non-confrontational forum.
The session is free and will take place I uesday at 7 p.m. at the OSU
M em orial Union Lounge in C orvallis, 26th Street and Jefferson Way.
T hom pson and H enderson were thrust into the national spotlight in
1950 when their father - Topeka. Kan. m inister O liver Brow n - thought it
was unjust that his 7-year-old daughter Linda traveled across tow n to school
rather than attend an elem entary school four blocks aw ay ju st because her
skin was black.
A May 17, 1954, decision by the Suprem e Court o f the U nited States
against the Board o f Education o f I'opeka, Kan. held that separate but equal
is unjust and unconstitutional.
