Celebrate the Life and Legacy of Barbara Johns

*The exterior entrance to the venue is down a set of stairs. There will be signage and folks guiding people to the ADA accessible elevator for the reception.

 

"Barbara Johns was a brave 16 year-old high school student that organized and led her classmates in a strike to protest the substandard conditions at the segregated Prince Edward County Moton High School, in Farmville, VA. Through Barbara's strategic organizing abilities and courageous actions she garnered the support of NAACP lawyers Spotswood Robinson and Oliver Hill to take her case about equitable conditions for Moton High School.

Robinson and Hill filed suit at the federal courthouse in Richmond, Virginia. The case was called Davis v. Prince Edward. In 1954, the Farmville case became one of five cases that the US Supreme Court reviewed in Brown v Board of Education of Topeka when it declared school segregation unconstitutional."
