Where are they now? Brown from Brown v. Board of Education?


Anyone seen an interview anywhere or any info on the child, Brown, who was the namesake for the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education?

The child was Linda Brown (now Thompson).

There was a program on PBS in 2004, but I can't remember the name of it. You might be able to find it on PBS's website.

According to the following website:

http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itdhr/0...

"Linda Brown Thompson, now 55 and still living in Topeka, is reluctant to discuss her experience and her father's role in challenging the system, partly because she feels too much emphasis has been placed by the media on her, to the exclusion of the other 12 plaintiffs in Topeka. Her sister, Cheryl Brown Henderson, executive director of the Brown Foundation for Educational Equity, Excellence and Research, agrees with Charles Scott, Jr.'s assessment. "We are very proud of what our father did," Henderson says. "But it is important not to oversimplify the Brown case -- not to forget the attorneys, the other plaintiffs in Topeka and the plaintiffs in the other states who eventually were included in the Brown case."
