She proved the innocence of victims.
Ida Bell Wells-Barnett gained a national reputation in the 1890s as a pioneering crusader against lynching. Her long career spanned a wide variety of venues, including schoolroom, settlement house, municipal court, electoral politics, home, church, and social club. Journalism, however, was her calling. Her publications, many of them too militant or sharply worded to find a substantial receptive audience, remain her greatest legacy.

Ida B. Wells was a pioneering journalist and activist who campaigned vigorously against lynching in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She conducted thorough investigations into lynching incidents, exposing the false narratives that justified these acts of violence, particularly against African Americans. Through her writings, speeches, and her founding of the Memphis Free Speech newspaper, she raised public awareness and galvanized support for anti-lynching legislation. Her tireless advocacy played a crucial role in bringing national and international attention to the brutality of lynching, contributing to the eventual decline of the practice.
Ida B Wells is so important because she shared to us about how African Americans were trated back then and she need to share it to the world and to educate the kids about then and how she felt........
