Barbara Johns statue will replace that of Robert E. Lee in the US Capitol CNN 12/22/2020 © Ken Cedeno/Reuters When Barbara Johns was just 16 years old, she led a walkout at her high school to protest poor and unequal school conditions. The moment is one that many historians believe helped launch the desegregation movement in the US. Now, Johns who died in 1991 will be memorialized at the US Capitol, replacing Virginia s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. By law, all states are allowed to donate two statues to the US Capitol for display around the building as part of the National Statuary Hall Collection, and they re able to replace existing statues through a process that involves the state s legislature and governor.
