She was also one of the founders of NAACP and wrote Southern Horrors: Lynch Law and All Its Phases. ====== ======
Alfreda and Ida Wells
Ida Bell Wells
Ida B. Wells was a journalist who wrote about unequal education opportunities available to African American children. She also drew attention to lynching of African Americans. She wrote directly against discrimination.
Ida B. Wells was a tireless advocate for racial justice and equality. As a journalist, the reason she wrote articles was to inform the white audience about the injustices and bigotry black people faced, and also to inform the black audience of news stories that affected their lives; as an advocate, she also wanted to motivate black readers (and some white ones too) to get involved in changing a system that regularly mistreated racial minorities.
