Ida B. Wells: Mother of the Civil Rights Movement

Dennis Brindell Fradin

0/5 ( ratings)

The acclaimed civil rights leader Ida B. Wells is brought vividly to life in this accessible and well-researched biography. Wells was a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People , and she helped black women win the right to vote. But what she is most remembered for is the success of her lifelong crusade against the practice of lynching--called by some "our nation's crime"--in the American South. She fought her battle by writing and publishing countless newspaper articles and by speaking around the world. Her outspokenness put her in grave danger many times over, but she would not be silenced, and today she is credited with ending lynching in the United States. Her story is one of courage and determination in the face of intolerance and injustice. AFTERWORD, BIBLIOGRAPHY, INDEX.
