Linda Brown Thompson

Hey, have you guys ever heard of the Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education case? Well,since my mom is a lawyer she taught me a little bit more about this topic. Ms.Brown was one of the first black kids to go to a white school. COOL RIGHT!If you don't know her full name it's Linda Brown Thompson. Well, I am not going to keep you waiting, let's go! 

 

WHAT I am going to talk about!

1.  Ms.Brown's Childhood
2.  Linda Brown Thompson
3. My day at the Atlanta History Center
4. FUN FACT!
5. What I liked at the Atlanta History Center.

        

Now, first I am going to talk about her childhood.She was born in Topeka,Kansas in 1942.Pretend you were seven and you always had to walk a mile to school.Life was not easy for her, but she did it she got blacks and whites to the same school.She was picked on and not respected just because of her race.Oliver Brown(Her dad) said "This is crazy blacks and whites need to be equally treated." So that's what he did he went to a near by White school and asked "Can I see the person in charge"they said "NO!" and they need to leave quickly.












Linda Brown was one of the first black kids tho go to a white school. I know it was a BIG DEAL to go to a white school.Did you know that they gave less money to the black schools and more money to the white schools. SO UNFAIR! 
 




Hey, you know the Atlanta History Center I learned a little bit of what happened in the Civil Rights Movement. I went there with my class it was so much fun. First we went and learned a bit and then we went into war. Not like real war ,but I hope you know what I mean. If not then let me tell you about it. The guider first gave us a clip board, then we had a soldiers name and some points( heath and morale points) I had SO much FUN on that field trip.






                    FUN FACT !

Wilbur had his own book called Hard Marching Every Day: The Civil War Letters of Private Wilbur Fisk.








Well, sadly I only have one more thing to talk about and that is...what I liked about it. HMMMM.... maybe my favorite part was when we went into war. I already told you that it was not real war. So don't freak out.Nobody got killed.So yay.Why you are probably asking well because I got to do it with my friends and that's what made the field trip fun.So there you got my answer.
