The decision of Mrs. Smith's father in 1951 to take to court his anger over his 9-year old Linda's experiences of segregated education led all the way to the Supreme Court and the ruling for the plaintiff on May 17, 1954, in the matter of 'Oliver Brown et al. v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas.' Mrs. Smith's children go to an integrated school a block away from home. 4/30/74."
