Résumé
Pulitzer Prize Board citation to Ida B. Wells, as an early pioneer of investigative journalism and civil rights iconFrom a thinker who Maya Angelou has praised for shining "a brilliant light on the lives of women left in the shadow of history, " comes the definitive biography of Ida B. Wells-an essential work of African American history about the crusading journalist and pioneer in the fight for women's suffrage and against segregation and lynchings.
Born into slavery in the tumultuous Post-Reconstruction era and raised in the Victorian age, Ida B. Wells emerged-through her fierce political battles and progressive thinking-as the first "modern" black woman in the nation's history. Wells began her activist career when she tried to desegregate a first-class railway car in Memphis. After being thrown bodily off the car, she wrote about the incident for black Baptist newspapers, thus beginning her career as a journalist.
But her most abiding fight would be her groundbreaking anti-lynching campaign, a crime in which she saw all the themes she held most dear coalesce: sexuality, race, and the law. This definitive biography of a foundational African American leader reveals: From Slavery to Activism: The astonishing journey of a woman born into slavery in Holly Springs who, after being violently ejected from a first-class train car, became a fearless journalist and activist.
The Fight for Social Justice: An unflinching look at Wells's pioneering battle against segregation and her instrumental role in the women's suffrage movement. A Founder of the NAACP: Discover her role as a founding member of the NAACP and her fierce, lifelong crusade to expose the brutal reality of lynching in post-Reconstruction America. An Uncompromising Voice: How Wells challenged the dominant narratives about race, sexuality, and the law, emerging as the first "modern" Black woman in the nation's history.
