Linda Brown, who as a little girl was at the center of the Brown v. Board of Education case that ended segregation in American schools, has died, a funeral home spokesman said.

Brown died Sunday afternoon in Topeka, Kansas, the spokesman said. She was 75 years old.

Brown was 9 years old in 1951 when her father, Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her at Sumner Elementary School, then an all-white school in Topeka, Kansas, near her home.

The stuff you don't know -- whenever I heard or read Brown v. Board of Education, I envisioned a middle-aged person in a brown suit and white shirt and spouting six-syllable words to impress the courts, not a nine-year-old kid.

Good for you, Linda. Rest in peace.
