Ida B Wells was a leader of the human rights movement in post-slavery United States of America. The end of slavery did not translate into the extension of these rights to the majority of Black people in reality. She was a teacher, writer, and a journalist who wrote powerfully and extensively on lynchings, a commonplace tool of racial subjugation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Vashna Jagarnath of PAIS joins Eusebius McKaiser on his show to talk about the life, the work, and the impact of Ida B. Wells in her time and in ours.
