    The white only school that was only 7 blocks from Linda Brown's house was Sumner Elementary School in Topeka, Kansas.

    Explanation:

    Linda Brown was an American civil rights activist from Topeka, Kansas. She was best known because of her participation as the main protagonist at the Brown v. Board of Education case, which reached the Supreme Court.

    In 1951, her father Oliver Brown filed a lawsuit against the local school board, that refused to enroll Linda Brown into the Sumner Elementary School. This culminated in the famous lawsuit that was unanimously decided on May 14, 1954 in favor of Brown, effectively forbidding school segregation. Thurgood Marshall was her lawyer at the time.
