Kansas is live on Travelog with one city, Topeka, home to Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park, free to visit Tuesday through Saturday, 9am-5pm. The site preserves Monroe Elementary School, one of four segregated Black elementary schools in 1950s Topeka, and tells the documented story of Oliver and Linda Brown, whose case was one of five combined into the Supreme Court's unanimous May 17, 1954 decision striking down school segregation.
Topeka's story is one piece of a larger, five-case legal effort, worth understanding the Kansas case's specific role rather than treating it as the sole case, covered in full below.
