Answer:

In 1950, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) asked a group of African American parents that included Oliver Brown(father of Linda Brown) to attempt to enroll their children in all-white people schools, with the expectation that they would be turned away. Oliver attempted to do so with Brown, who was in third grade at the time and barred from enrollment at Sumner Elementary. The strategy was for the civil rights group to file a lawsuit on behalf of the 13 families, who represented different states.
