Barbara Johns, who at 16 led student protests against segregated schools in Virginia, is likely to have her statue erected in the U.S. Capitol, replacing Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, a fellow Virginian, in National Statuary Hall.
Amid a national reckoning over the country s history and self-conception, Confederate monuments and monikers, like Lee s statue, have been criticized and removed for their fraught racial legacy.
“As a teenager (in 1951), Barbara Johns bravely led a protest that defied segregation and challenged the barriers that she and her African American peers faced, ultimately dismantling them,” Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said in a statement after the Commission on Historical Statues in the United States Capitol voted Wednesday to recommend her statue.
