Barbara Rose Johns is a name you are likely unfamiliar with, even though she was a genuine hero in the early days of the Civil Rights era. And today, she is finally honored with a statue in the U.S. Capital--one that replaced Gen. Robert E. Lee. OK, if I haven't piqued your interest yet, I don't know what I can do except stand on my head! Read Clavin's fascinating column about this unique woman (who was only a teenager when she did her bit).
I like her shenanigans too with the principal and the teachers.
Me too! A cool aspect to the story.

Thanks! Another one of history's "hidden heroes."
