In fall 1950, Oliver Brown tried to enroll his seven-year-old daughter Linda in the Sumner Elementary School in Topeka, Kansas. Black children were not allowed to attend. The Browns appealed, ultimately leading to the monumental Supreme Court Brown v. Board of Education decision on May 17, 1954. Linda is seated third from the left and her father, Oliver Brown, is standing second from the left. Listen to highlights of the case at the Brown Revisited website (Cornell University co-owns the Oyez Project website on which this project is hosted.)

“When we're all graduated, we still have this unity and we also rely on this community that we've been able to develop.”
“It is a privilege to be part of Cornell’s mission, and part of this remarkable community of faculty, staff, and students who embrace our ambitions, cherish our values, and, like me, call Cornell home.”
