About this ebook

After the Civil War, lynching in the American South was a spread occurrence. The authorities tolerated this practice, and there were no formal records for those cases. In the chase for "justice," an angry mob could often punish innocent people, and the blacks were the most frequent victims. The Red Record by Ida B. Wells-Barnett prepared an objective survey of those times with the statistics of lynching scenes and events that preceded and followed the killings. This book aimed to spark change.

Author

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.”
