Ida B. Wells was an investigative journalist, civil rights leader, and anti-lynching advocate who fought for equality and justice.--In the late 1800s, lynchings were happening all over the American South, often without any investigation or consequences for the murderers. A young journalist set out to expose the truth about these killings. Her reports shocked the nation, launched her journalism career and a lifelong pursuit of civil rights. Christina Greer details the life of Ida B. Wells and her tireless struggle for justice.Lesson by Christina Greer, directed by Anna Nowakowska.Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-one-journalist-risked-her-life-to-hold-murderers-accountable-christina-greerThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
