It's sad that there isn't more information about the life this woman lived.

I'm reading "Linda Brown, Symbol of Landmark Desegregation Case, Dies" in the New York Times, and there is almost nothing in it about the individual Linda Brown. Does "symbol" say it all? The name on the case, Brown v. Board of Education, isn't Linda Brown, but Oliver Brown, her father.

Here is all we are told of the person who died...

She was 75. Her death was confirmed on Monday by a spokesman for the Peaceful Rest Funeral Chapel in Topeka, which is handling her funeral arrangements....

We don't know what day she died, only the day the death was confirmed. We're not told how she died or where.

Linda Brown was born on Feb. 20, 1943, in Topeka to Leola and Oliver Brown, according to the funeral home. (Some sources say she was born in 1942.)

We're not really even sure when she was born.

The neighborhood the family lived in was integrated. “I played with children that were Spanish-American,” Linda Brown said in a 1985 interview. “I played with children that were white, children that were Indian, and black children in my neighborhood.”

Nor were her parents dissatisfied with the black school she was attending. What upset Oliver Brown was the distance Linda had to travel to get to school — first a walk through a rail yard and across a busy road, then a bus ride.

“When I first started the walk it was very frightening to me,” she said, “and then when wintertime came, it was a very cold walk. I remember that. I remember walking, tears freezing up on my face, because I began to cry.”

We're told of the historic litigation, ordering the desegregation of schools.

By the time of the ruling, Ms. Brown was in an integrated junior high school. She later became an educational consultant and public speaker....

Nothing about the topics of consulting and speaking. I guess we're expected to presume she spoke about the litigation, but what did she say and what did she think? This little squib only hints:

As for her role in the landmark case, Ms. Brown came to embrace it, if reluctantly. “Sometimes it’s a hassle,” she told The Herald [in a 1987 interview], “but it’s still an honor.”

What's the story there? What was the "hassle"? Is there a fear of opening up this story, because she is needed as a "symbol." I'd like to know her complicated thoughts on the subject of the honor that was a hassle — the hassle that was an honor.

Ms. Brown was married several times. 

Several times — not a specific number. Did the NYT not find out the number? We're there some ambiguous interludes that were maybe marriage maybe not marriage? It's all so vague — the death, the life, the person.

The funeral home said her survivors include a daughter, Kimberly Smith, although it did not have a complete list of survivors.

That makes me feel very sad, as if she was used and then lost track of.
