Answer:

because it was a matter of principle

Step-by-step explanation:

When Linda Brown was denied admission to the all-white school, this enabled the NAACP to proceed with its case challenging the "separate but equal" doctrine.

Brown, an African Methodist Episcopal Church pastor and a Santa Fe Railway worker, wanted his daughter to be allowed to enroll in the all-white elementary school — not because the all-white school was superior to the all-black elementary school she attended two miles away
