Gebhart was originally filed in Delaware and was originally litigated by lawyers Jack Greenberg and Louis Redding under a strategy formulated by Robert L. Carter of the NAACP. Greenberg had assisted Carter at the original hearing of Brown.
Gebhart is unique among the four Brown cases in that the trial court ordered that African-American children be admitted to the state's segregated whites-only schools, and the state Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's decision.
Gebhart was brought by Sarah Bulah, a resident of the rural town of Hockessin, Delaware.
Gebhart was filed in 1951 in the Delaware Court of Chancery by lawyers Jack Greenberg and Louis Redding under a strategy formulated by Robert L. Carter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
