Overview

Ida B. Wells-Barnett was born a slave in Mississippi in 1862. Her childhood ended abruptly when her parents and a baby brother died during a yellow fever epidemic, leaving Ida to care for her five younger siblings. But as she would throughout her life, Ida met the challenge. She became a country schoolteacher at age sixteen to earn money to keep the family together. But her career changed direction when she was dragged off of a train, to the applause of white passengers, after refusing to give up a seat reserved for whites. From that day forward, Ida dedicated herself to fighting injustice, and her fearless crusading gained even more momentum after a close friend was lynched by a Memphis mob in 1892. Ida became a journalist, a pioneering civil rights activist, a co-founder of the NAACP, and a powerful voice for universal suffrage. Her sense of righteous indignation led her to travel throughout the U.S. and Great Britain, sometimes with a nursing baby in tow, to speak out against the oppression of African Americans, Strong-willed and uncompromising, Ida B. Wells-Barnett never gave up, kept quiet, or backed down. Book jacket.
