Her situation
Imagine you are a seven year old and had to walk one mile to a bus stop by walking through a railroad switching station and then waiting for a school bus to go to a "black elementary school" or a school for African American School. This is what happened to Linda Brown, she was an African American third grader from Topeka, Kansas, even though there was a "white elementary school" only seven blocks away. So her parents had gotten mad about it, they complained to the Board of Education about it. The Board's argument was that it was constitutional. The case ended up going to the Supreme Court.
