Biographical History
Millicent Ellison Brown is an educator and civil rights activist. Born in Charleston, S.C. to MaeDe and J. Arthur Brown, local and state president of the NAACP (1955-1965), Brown in 1963 replaced her older sister, Minerva, as the primary plaintiff in an NAACP-sponsored lawsuit (Millicent Brown versus Charleston County School District #20). Filed to desegregate the Charleston public school system, the lawsuit resulted in Brown becoming one of two African American students to integrate Rivers High School (1963). Graduating in 1966, Brown attended the College of Charleston (B.A. in History, 1975), and the Citadel (M.Ed. in Education, 1978). From 1989 to 1991, Brown served as the Director of Exhibits and Museum Education at the Avery Research Center (1989-1991). She earned a Ph.D. in History from Florida State University in 1997, writing her dissertation on the history of civil rights activism in Charleston from 1940 to 1970. Brown has taught as an Associate Professor in History at Bennett College, N.C. (1995-99); Guilford College (1999-2002); North Carolina A&T College (2001-02), and the Governor's School at the College of Charleston (2002- ).
