Ida B. Wells was born into slavery and freed by the emancipation proclamation she was an investigative journalist, with her own paper until the KKK destroyed her newspaper office and presses for telling the horrors of lynching complete with names. She was an educator, dismissed from her teaching post by the Memphis Board of Education due to her articles that criticized conditions in the black schools of the region. She was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).[1] but was originally excluded from the list of founders in her autobiography, Wells stated that Du Bois deliberately excluded her from the list. Du Bois felt women had no place in activism. Wells arguably became the most famous black woman in America, during a life that was centered on combating prejudice and violence, who fought for equality for African Americans, especially women. Despite men telling her to stay home and have babies!

At the age of 24, she wrote, “I will not begin at this late day by doing what my soul abhors; sugaring men, weak deceitful creatures, with flattery to retain them as escorts or to gratify a revenge.”
