At just 16 years old, Barbara Johns changed history. On April 23, 1951, she staged a strike at R.R. Moton High School in Farmville, where students participated in a walkout for equal education opportunities. Today, May 17, marks the 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education US Supreme Court decision, which ruled that separating children in public schools based on race was unconstitutional. #History #USHistory #VirginiaHistory #BlackHistory #BrownVBoardofeducation #segregationinamerica
