Harriet Elizabeth “Libby” Brown (2/10/1907 – 1/1/2009) was a Calvert County public school teacher (30+years) who pushed for equal pay, regardless of race, in Maryland education. NAACP attorney Thurgood Marshall, Brown brought suit against the Calvert County Board of Edu- cation in 1937. At the time, Brown and other African-American teachers were paid almost 50% less than her Euro-American counterparts with similar credentials. Calvert County settled on December 27, 1937 agree-
ing to equalize pay. Two years later, the Maryland Teachers Pay Equalization Law
was passed, the first Maryland state equalization law. Brown is honored in the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame. Her historical marker is in Sunderland, MD at the intersection of Solomons Island Road and Pushaw Station Road. Ms. Brown is buried in Southern Memorial Gardens cemetery in Dunkirk, Maryland.
