Work Description
Biography of journalist and educator, Ida B. Wells.
Wells was born into slavery and had reached her late teens by the end of the Civil War. As Wells grows into her adulthood in Memphis during reconstruction, Wells has a perfect view of the activist African-American leadership that burst forth in faith of God, America and their racial brothers. Wells wrote as both a woman and a black woman throughout the period after the war including the Supreme Court's "Separate but Equal" ruling (incomplete) The book is a great example of the growing genre of the popular research biography.)
