AN ACT concerning education; encouraging school districts to annually
designate a Linda Brown and family walk to school day.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
Section 1. (a) The courage of Linda Carol Brown and her parents,
Oliver and Leola Brown, who filed the historic groundbreaking case of
Brown v. Board of Education that rose to the supreme court of the United
States and successfully desegregated schools across the United States
allowing students to attend their neighborhood schools, is acknowledged
and celebrated.
(b) The board of education of each school district is encouraged to
designate a day in August or September of each school year as Linda
Brown and family walk to school day in remembrance of the Brown
family and all of the students and their families across Kansas who walked
through the opening door of desegregation.
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
publication in the statute book.
