About this audiobook

Ida B. Wells-Barnett
Born a slave, Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862–1931) became one of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries' most powerful voices for justice and against the brutality of lynching. Her unflinching journalistic accounts shed light on the evils and persistence of racism in the United States. Wells-Barnett was one of the original founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Her groundbreaking activism laid the foundation for the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. In 2020, she was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her “outstanding and courageous reporting on the horrific and vicious violence against African Americans during the era of lynching.”
