Description
In 1951, young Barbara Johns led a student walkout to protest conditions at her segregated Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia. Her actions led to a lawsuit that eventually helped strike down the doctrine of “separate but equal.” Lacy Ward (Longwood University) is Director of the Robert Russa Moton Museum. He wants the museum to show the Civil Rights struggle as a process of Americans perfecting the Union.
