View this video segment, "Barbara Johns' Grand Plan" from "School Interrupted," The Future of America's Past.  Use the closed-captioning feature to read along with the script.

Five court cases led to the overturning of the doctrine of “separate but equal”: Briggs v. Elliott (1952), Belton v, Gebhart (1952), Bolling v. Sharpe (1954), Brown v. Board of Education (1954), and Davis v. County School Board (1954).

The students who led the walkout at Robert Russa Moton High School in Prince Edward County, Virginia, became litigants in Davis v. County School Board (1954), the only case initiated by a student-led protest. 

Use evidence from the video to answer the following questions:

• What new information do these images add to your understanding of the impact of Plessy v. Ferguson on segregated schools?
• Was “Separate but Equal” truly equal?
• Do you think Barbara Johns and her classmates were justified in their actions?
• What legacy do these former Moton students and all of the Brown v. Board litigants leave for future generations to learn from, and how might we best honor their courage?
