Ida Bell Wells was an American journalist who led the anti-lynching campaign in the 1890s. She was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi on July 16th, 1862, and died in Chicago, Illinois on March 25th, 1931. She became active in the battle for African-American justice later in life.
Ida B. Wells was a really amazing figure. Some semesters I include one of her anti-lynching campaign essays. Because of the stress of the pandemic, I have assigned fewer readings this semester. This link will take you to her book, The Red Record: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/14977/14977-h/14977-h.htm
This piece of artwork is absolutely beautiful.
