This farm was home to the family of Levi Pearson (1894-1970), who with his brother Hammett Pearson joined other African American parents in Davis Station and Jordan to protest Clarendon Co. schools' refusal in the mid-1940s to transport their children to Scott’s Branch H.S. in Summerton. For several years, the parents jointly bought, maintained, and drove their own bus without county support. On June 22, 1947, Rev. J.A. De Laine came here and recruited Levi Pearson to file an NAACP-backed lawsuit for equal transportation in the county's segregated schools. Though dismissed, Pearson v. Clarendon Co. led to one of the five cases decided in the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling, Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Despite local backlash, Pearson never moved from this lot, which he bought in 1933.
