Lacy Ward, Jr., of the John Marshal Foundation, tells us about Barbara Johns, a sixteen-year-old girl who, in 1951, led a student walkout to protest her separate, and very unequal, public high school in Prince Edward County, Virgina.
After leading the walkout, Barbara Johns contacted the NAACP, which took her case all the way to the Supreme Court, where it eventually became part of Brown v. Board of Education.
Virginia has now designated April 23 as Barbara Johns Day.
Join us for a fascinating, inspiring, and poignant tale about a woman who really does deserve her own day.
