Which encouraged the NAACP to become involved with Reverend Oliver Brown’s lawsuit against a board of education in Kansas?

The Supreme Court’s 1950 decision in McLaurin v. Oklahoma limited segregation in higher education, finding that separating a Black student from white classmates harmed his educational experience. That ruling encouraged the NAACP to challenge school segregation more broadly through Brown’s lawsuit. Plessy v. Ferguson had upheld “separate but equal,” rather than encouraging the challenge.
