"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.

Robert E. Lee to be replaced by Barbara Rose Johns in Capitol Statuary Hall

“The impact of what she did as a young person is so compelling and it changed so many lives,” said Margaret Vanderhye, a former Democratic state lawmaker and one of the commissioners. “Sometimes the history finds the people.”
The commission’s vote was 6-1, with the lone dissent coming from Anne Richardson, chief of the Rappahannock Tribe, who cast her vote for Pocahontas, an iconic figure from the beginning of the first English colony who was one of the other five finalists the commission had in front of it.
“In the time period we’re in when we’re going back and trying to correct history, removing statues … the Native American people who have been left out of everything should have a place in history,” she said. ....
