And Still We Rise

1892: African American journalist Ida B. Wells begins a crusade to investigate and document lynchings of African American men after three of her friends are lynched in Tennessee. In speeches, newspaper articles, and pamphlets, she exposes the realities of these acts. Wells will continue to fight for African American civil rights and women’s rights throughout her life.
