Zelma Henderson
Zelma Henderson (February 29, 1920 – May 20, 2008) was the last surviving plaintiff in the 1954 landmark federal school desegregation case, ''Brown v. Board of Education''. The case outlawed segregation nationwide in all of the United States' public schools. The ruling served as a harbinger of the American Civil Rights Movement and paved the way for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed segregation in all public facilities.〔
==Early life==
Henderson was born as Zelma Cleota Hurst in Colby, Kansas, on February 29, 1920.〔 Her family, The Hursts, were one of only two African American families living in Colby at the time.〔 Her parents grew wheat and raised cattle for a living.〔 The family moved to Oakley, Kansas, when she was still young.〔
Kansas state law at the time required that elementary schools in towns with a population of 15,000 or more had to be racially segregated.〔 However, the law did not apply to either Colby or Oakley, since both towns had populations of under 15,000 people.〔 As a result, Henderson attended integrated elementary schools in both towns alongside both black and white children.〔 The law did not apply to Kansas middle schools or high schools, which were integrated throughout the state.〔
