I assume you weren't the valedictorian of your class.

No but I graduated in the top 2%.

Brown vs. Board of Education was 5 consolidated cases...Briggs vs. Elliot was the first and the one that started it all. It was the oldest case.

The Supreme decided to list Brown vs. Board of Education first...but Briggs vs. Elliot was FIRST. That is where the NAACP drew their first line in the sand.

And, oh yeah, my thesis was on Brown vs. Board of Education and how it has failed.
