Description

Ida Bell Wells-Barnett (July 16, 1862 - March 25, 1931) was an American investigative journalist, educator, and early leader in the civil rights movement.

She was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Over the course of a lifetime dedicated to combating prejudice and violence, and the fight for African-American equality, especially that of women, Wells arguably became the most famous Black woman in America.

Born into slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi, Wells was freed by the Emancipation Proclamation during the American Civil War.

At the age of 16, she lost both her parents and her infant brother in the 1878 yellow fever epidemic.

She went to work and kept the rest of the family together with the help of her grandmother.
