Brown v. Board of Education
Oliver Brown, father of Linda Brown, wanted to make a change and called NAACP to help. Oliver wanted to overturn Plessy v. Ferguson since he didn’t want his daughter traveling 2 hours away. He wanted to have his daughter attend the white school closer to them in Kansas since it wasn’t far. Oliver felt that the court wasn’t meeting his right of the 14 and 15 amendments due to them not listening to him. They overturned Plessy v. Ferguson because it was unfair.
