Barbara Rose Johns

Barbara Rose Johns (1935–1991) was a young, American civil rights leader-pioneer and the niece of one of the "fathers of the Civil Rights Movement," Vernon Johns. On April 23, 1951, at the age of 16, Barbara led a student strike for equal education at R.R. Moton High School in Farmville, Prince Edward County, Virginia. After securing NAACP legal support, the Moton students filed ''Davis v. Prince Edward County'', the largest and only student initiated case consolidated into ''Brown v. Board of Education'', the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring "separate but equal" public schools unconstitutional.
==Early life==
Barbara Rose Johns was born in New York City, New York in 1935. Her family had roots in Prince Edward County, Virginia, where they returned to live. Her mother worked in Washington D.C. for the U.S. Navy, and her father operated the farm where the family resided. The eldest of five children, Barbara had a younger sister, Joan Johns Cobbs, and three younger brothers: Ernest; Roderick, who served in Vietnam as a dog handler and was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart; and Robert.
Barbara’s uncle was the prominent Vernon Johns, an outspoken activist for civil rights. When he visited Barbara and her family, he would ask the children questions about black history. This motivated Barbara and her siblings to study black history, and Barbara, as well as her siblings, was influenced by Vernon and his outspoken nature.
