Cheryl Brown Henderson Biography

Cheryl Brown Henderson is one of the three daughters of the late Rev. Oliver L. Brown, who, in the fall of 1950, along with 12 other parents led by attorneys for the NAACP, filed suit on behalf of their children against the local Board of Education. Their case joined with cases from Delaware, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and on May 17, 1954, became known as the landmark decision Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. This case was legally named for Oliver Brown, i.e., Oliver L. Brown et al. vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, KS et al. Brown died in 1961 before knowing the impact this case would have on the nation.

She has an extensive background in education, business, and civic leadership, having served on and chaired various local, state, and national boards. In addition, she has two decades of experience in political advocacy, public policy implementation, and federal legislative development.

Since its establishment, the Foundation has provided scholarships to more than 100 minority students, presented awards to local, state, and national leaders, established libraries for children in low-income communities, developed a curriculum on Brown for educators across the country, created traveling exhibits on and a web site on Brown, and sponsored programs on diversity and educational issues, for thousands of people.
