Join us for a powerful afternoon honoring Barbara Johns’ legacy!
Friend,
We are excited to invite you to the Democratic Party of Virginia’s 2025 Barbara Johns Discussion and Reception!
This year, we’re proud to feature P. O’Connell Pearson, author of We Are Your Children Too: Black Students, White Supremacists, and the Battle for America’s Schools in Prince Edward County, Virginia. Pearson’s work shines a light on the courage of young leaders like Barbara Johns — and the urgent fight for academic justice that continues today.
The event will take place on Sunday, May 4, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Army Navy Country Club in Fairfax, Virginia.
We hope you’ll join us for this important discussion and reception as we honor Barbara Johns’ extraordinary legacy and recommit to building a more just and equitable future.
