Ida B. Wells
Blessed Among Us
Champion of Justice (1862-1931)

Born into slavery in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells’s struggle against racial injustice began in 1884 when a train conductor tried to evict her from her first-class seat to make room for a white man. Her successful suit against the train company won her a national reputation, and she became editor of a Black newspaper in Memphis, The Free Speech and Headlight.
When, in 1892, three black men were lynched in Memphis, Wells was galvanized to action. In the years since Emancipation, lynching had become the ultimate form of white terrorism in the South. Though the pretext was often some alleged “outrage against (white) womanhood,” Wells conducted exhaustive research documenting the actual causes: failure to show proper deference to whites, registering to vote, “talking back,” complaining about work, or sheer bad luck. Whatever the reasons, it was a reminder that the underlying code of slavery lived on. Christian ministers, meanwhile, were generally oblivious to the parallels between this public violence and the death of Jesus on a cross.
Following her editorials, an outraged mob destroyed her press and would have lynched her, too, if she had been present. Settling in Chicago, she became a “journalist in exile,” tirelessly carrying on the fight against lynching, until her death on March 31, 1931. She did not live to see success (there were 28 recorded lynchings in 1931), but her courageous witness lit a torch that others carried across the generations. In 2022, Congress passed the Emmet Till Anti-Lynching Act.
“We submit all to the sober judgment of the Nation, confident that, in this cause, as well as all others, “Truth is mighty and will prevail.” –Ida B. Wells
