Barbara Johns led students out of Robert Russa Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia, to protest inferior conditions in segregated education. Their organizing helped produce a lawsuit later included in Brown v. Board of Education. Young people challenged an institution that distributed educational opportunities unequally and presented that inequality as an acceptable social order.
