Description: Journalist. Suffragist. Antilynching crusader. In 1862, Ida B. Wells was born enslaved in Holly Springs Mississippi. In 2020, she won a Pulitzer Prize. Ida B. Wells committed herself to the needs of those who did not have power. In the eyes of the FBI this made her a dangerous negro agitator. In the annals of history it makes her an icon. Ida B. the Queen tells the awe - inspiring story of an pioneering woman who was often overlooked and underestimated a woman who refused to exit a train car meant for white passengers; a woman brought to light the horrors of lynching in America; a woman who cofounded the Naacp. Written by Wells's great - granddaughter Michelle Duster this warm remembrance of a civil rights icon (Kirkus Reviews) is a unique visual celebration of Wells's life and of the Black experience. A century after her death Wells's genius is being celebrated in popular culture by politicians through song public artwork and landmarks. Like her contemporaries Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony Wells left an indelible mark on history one that can still be felt today. As America confronts the unfinished business of systemic racism Ida B. the Queen pays tribute to a transformational leader and reminds us of the power we all hold to smash the status quo.
