About this listen

Ida B. Wells spent 45 years battling racism, sexism, and violence. She fought an anti-lynching campaign after 3 friends were lynched by a group of southern whites in 1892.

She was a journalist, activist, researcher, and early leader in the Civil Rights movement. Join us in remembering a wonderful and courageous woman.
