Abstract	This article details how a team of fourth-grade teachers in Rockingham County, Virginia used the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) to deepen student understanding of Barbara Johns and the Moton Student Strike's fight for racial justice in Virginia and to reframe their overall approach to Black history in general. Although Rockingham County Schools are about a two-hour drive from Farmville, the Student Strike at R. R. Moton High School is a pivotal chapter of Virginia and U.S. History that should be taught in classrooms across the county. It not only counters many traditional narratives of the civil rights movement, but it also serves as a powerful illustration of how young people can impact the world in which they live. As young citizens, every student can look to Barbara Johns as a vital lesson in agency, empowerment, and resilience. (ERIC).
