Trailblazing journalist and activist Ida B. Wells documented the horrific lynchings of African Americans in the 1890s. This definitive middle-grade biography from Newbery and Coretta Scott King Honoree Lesa Cline-Ransome honors her legacy.
This is the awe-inspiring true story of Ida B. Wells, an anti-lynching activist and founding member of the NAACP who published her own newspaper and fought for racial equality within the suffragist movement. She was a trailblazer as important in her time as she remains today.
Though in 1892 a white mob burned her printing press and drove her out of town, she would not be silenced. In 2020, she won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for her courageous reporting on the violence against African Americans during the era of lynching.
Newbery Honor author and NAACP Image Award winner Lesa Cline-Ransome brings Ida B. Wells’ achievements to life. Beyond just a biography, this powerful text honors the history of resistance while challenging readers to push back against oppressive forces by being their boldest, bravest selves.
