A. Charles Houston

B. Marshall Harlan

C. Linda Brown

D. Thurgood Marshall

E. Earl Warren

Answer 1

The answer is C Linda Brown

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) Linda Brown.

The name of the aforementioned Supreme Court case was Brown vs. Board of Education. This landmark case ruled that seperate but equal school facilities for black and whites was a violation of the 14th amendment. Brown's lawyer, Thurgood Marshall, made a convincing case that seperate can never be equal and that the actual conditions of black and schools were far from equal. This court case helped to end school segregation within the US.
