Samuel Brown (1852-1937) is an influential bilingual-bicultural Mexican American politician and long-time Tempe Schools leader in the late 1890s. During his 25-year Presidency of the nationally known civil-rights organization, the Alianza Hispano Americana, with roots in Tempe, Samuel Brown fought against the segregation and racial discrimination of Mexicanos in the Northern frontier of Arizona.
