 Hidden Histories  
If you really want to know about the beginning of the civil rights movement in this country, you don’t start with Martin Luther King Jr., you don’t even start with Rosa Parks. No, you begin with a young lady named Barbara Johns in the backwater of Farmville, VA.
The landmark legislation that finally drove a nail through the heart of Jim Crowe—Brown vs. the Stanford Board of Education—began in central Virginia, about 60 miles due West of Richmond, VA with a young girl named Barbara Johns.
This module airs every Friday and Wednesday on 97.3 FM, Richmond, VA. You can also stream it at wrir.org.
