A new statue honoring a Black teen who fought segregation was unveiled in the U.S. Capitol
In 1951, when she was 16 years old, Barbara Rose Johns led hundreds of students in a walkout from her Virginia high school to protest overcrowded conditions and inferior facilities compared to the town’s white high school.
Johns and her classmates’ fight became one of the five cases reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Brown v. Board of Education ruling that declared school segregation unconstitutional.
Now, a statue has been unveiled in her honor at the U.S. Capitol in Emancipation Hall representing Virginia, notably replacing one of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that was removed in 2020.
Why is this good news? For over a century, Virginia had been represented in the hall by George Washington and Lee. The same month that Lee’s statue was ordered to be removed, a commission voted unanimously to put a statue of Johns in its place — honoring a true hero in the fight for freedom and equality.

COVID-19 vaccines reduced the risk of emergency room or urgent care visits by 76% in children
A new study found that the COVID-19 vaccines reduced the risk of emergency room or urgent care visits by 76% in children between the ages of nine months and four years, and by 56% in ages five through 17 compared to children who didn’t receive a vaccine.
The new data show that the vaccines were safe and incredibly effective at preventing severe illness in children.
The findings also offer a stark contrast to recent statements made by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, who has called the COVID vaccine, without evidence, “the deadliest vaccine ever made.”
