A key committee in Virginia has voted to have the statue of Robert E. Lee that now stands in the U.S. Capitol replaced by a statue of a local civil-rights leader.
Barbara Johns, whose 1951 student protest over the inferior conditions of her all-Black high school in central Virginia would become one of the five cases at issue in the
Brown v. Board of Education decision, is poised to represent Virginia in the National Statuary Hall Collection, according to a press release from the governor.
Johns was recommended to replace Lee by the Commission on Historical Statues in the United States Capitol, a collection of legislators and citizens in the commonwealth who’d been working since July to determine which Virginia historical figure to should replace the former Confederate General. ....

"Proud that Barbara Johns will soon represent Virginia in the U.S. Capitol"

To put it mildly, this represents a massive upgrade from Robert E. Lee, who led a military rebellion against the United States of America, all in the service of “states rights”….the right, that is, to own and exploit/abuse humans as slaves. The only bad news here is that this change from Lee to Johns took so long, but it’s great to see nonetheless! Thanks to Rep. Donald McEachin (D-VA04), Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA10), and everyone else involved in making this happen!
P.S. See below for Gov. Northam’s press release.

Barbara Johns statue to replace Virginia's Robert E. Lee in US Capitol

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. ....
