I Want to Go to School: Brown v. Board of Education by Carole Marsh In 1950's Topeka, Kansas- and many other cities- discriminatory laws mandated that black children could not attend the same schools as white children. But in 1951, the Topeka NAACP filed a lawsuit that would forever change schools- and the relationships between blacks and whites. Brown v. Board of Education was much more than a case about one little girl- it was about a whole nation of people who had grown tired of injustice. It represented more than 200 plaintiffs and 12 different attorneys and community activists. This workbook style book would be a great tool for teachers or parents. Recommended for ages 9-12. 28 pages.
