Ida B. Wells became an activist in the 1890s, particularly after the lynching of her friend Thomas Moss in 1892. This tragic event spurred her to write and speak out against racial violence and injustice, leading her to co-found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and advocate for civil rights, women's suffrage, and anti-lynching legislation throughout her life. Her journalism and activism were pivotal in raising awareness about the systemic oppression faced by African Americans.
