Overlooked: Ida B. Wells
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Born in Mississippi within a year of emancipation, journalist and activist Ida B. Wells lit up the lynching-laden, injustice-soaked Jim Crow-era south with boycotts, legal battles, and scorching editorials. As a fierce investigative journalist, she unveiled racist violence and humanized the stories of the victims. Despite her remarkable impact, Wells never received an obituary in The New York Times-until now. As part of a project called Overlooked, Wells’ newly penned obituary will join those of other remarkable women in history. Nikole Hannah-Jones (investigative reporter for The New York Times Magazine); Michelle Duster (Wells’ great granddaughter); and Eve L. Ewing come together in recognition of the enduring legacy of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and the equally enduring fight for racial justice. Natalie Moore (South Side bureau reporter for WBEZ) will moderate.
This program is presented in partnership with The New York Times and the Chicago Urban League, with the support of the Lohengrin Foundation.
This program was recorded on November 2, 2018.

Thank you for your dedication to the legacy and recognition of Ida B. Well-Barnett . I've learned so many things I did not know .
I was bought here by Girls Trek Black History Boot Camp. I would like to thank the women on this panel for the powerful information provided about the incomparable Ida B. Wells. I am absolutely fascinated by her story! Like the panelist, I can’t exactly remember when I learned about her. But after watching this video, my interest in IDA B. Wells has awakened! Thank you so much for all of the work you are doing to bring awareness and honor to her legacy.
Ida B Wells, I SALUTE YOU
Somebody needs to make a movie about Ida B Wells. She sounds like a magnificent woman.
Awesome discussion and very inspirational. Nikole Hannah-Jones IS life!
12 yrs old just graduated with her bachelors degree and starting her masters program. EXCELLENT!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Tell me what’s impossible? Nothing at all. She’s the last question the panel answers. Thank you Beautiful Woman of color for all that you are doing!
Hope to see her story on the big screen - it would be a challenging story to tell in all its rawness, Ida's fierce courage and the ugliness of American history that she shown the light on! Her story told on the big screen would be amazing!
I agree
I, too, am looking forward to the day when we can see her story on the big and small screen 😀
Thank you for educating me.
Nicole,Nicole I am like obsessed with this woman, so articulate, in one video at a college she tells several students "if you're looking for hope,I can't give you that! But that's just what she gives me Hope ! Phenomenal woman!!
I won't overlook my chocolate sista and the great contributions she's contributed to society thank you Ms/Sis Ida❤️🖤💚
Live this never heard of this amazing strong black woman hooray 👏 😀 🙌 😄
"Black people" huh "Black people" Thank you for that correction, Sister Eve!
I would loved to have met this strong Black Woman!💁🏽♀️
Me 2
This is such a healing conversation. Now that we're in 2020, I cringe thinking about all of the celebratory stuff going on for the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage. The racist truth should be brought out of the darkness and for Ida and all the other Black women who were pushed aside.
I would like to say,it not by coincidences that you young lady’s of color are here this evening on this panel for IDA B Wells you are chosen to carry her torch for her ,her courage and her determination is in all the work you do,I was waiting for you lady’s to understand that
It is worth a visit to Holy Springs to visit the Ida B. Wells Museum. Just being where she was born and loved is moving and inspirational.
studied all info available about Ada B. Wells. Is one of my all-time favorite heroines/heroes. she was as courageous and bold as anyone who ever lived. showed super love for Black people.
Yessssssssz indeed. !!!
As a person of colour I find this very moving.
pffft63 , Whoa!!! Will definitely do some research! Thanks for checking us all! Sometimes we all need to be checked!! And not just go off of what we hear is the truth, but actually search it out. That’s our problem! We’re so lazy when it comes to reading and learning about our own true history. Sadly most of us don’t even care to know but I know I do and I want my children to know...
Maybe y’all could get janelle monae to play Ida B Wells.
Did she say she is 12 and starting a master's program 😳
She was also a Republican and confronted Wilson's laws on segregation who was a Democrat
I can't verify this to be true, but it wouldn't surprise me. Indeed Democrats and Republicans have switched ideals over the years. Better to not use labels, but to look deeper at what parties stand for and how they vote. Thank you girl trek for bringing me here! Great dialogue in the video.
Heyyyy Heyyyy ❤️
The Party of Abraham Lincoln.
Ida B. Wells is one of my heroes she's one of the greatest African American Women that ever walked the face of the Earth and these black females should use her for there role model Ida B. Wells may Allah bless you with paradise and the 7th Heaven peace and love bro.ali.
She was married and had 4 kids,she was 16 her husband 18 lawyer. She could have done it without her husband and husband without his wife.
OMG I didn't know who she was but there is a BEAUTIFUL Muriel in Bushwick Brooklyn...Which I have taken An Amazing 🤳 with this Phenomenal Courageous Pioneer 👊🏿💪🏿🙌🏿👍🏿🙏🏿✌🏿💯👑🤩❤🌟
Dag, she looks like Ida B. Well. You can see the family resemblance.
Thanks
Great Republican as well.
Ps tell the truth and shame the devil(s) ❤️🖤💚
Who voted this down?
Hate to bring Religion into this thread, but I believe every bomber and lyncher during that 1917 - 1921 time period mentioned, already has or will be, standing before God for HIS righteous judgement and justice, according to Revelations 20:11 - 15 ! Without the existence of God, these demons would have gotten away with their evil, but they won't!
Pss there is a righteus God who will punish evildoers 😭 they have gotten by in America but they won't get away with this spiritual filth❤️🖤💚
Wasn’t she a republican? Why did you leave this out of the conversation?
How is it relevant?
Wtf.
Ida B. Wells a woman because she was a republican and a Christian. She even put Susan b Anthony on check, closest modern day Ida B. Wells is Candace Owens taking names and waking up her own community.
I bet if we put the two women in a debate their ideals would make it clear how different they are. It's a waste of time trying to compare someone to the great Ida B. Wells.
Shawna Chambers they are both Christian. They are both republican. They are both pro family (Ida B. Wells after parents died took the role of mom) these would line up with being pro life since in Ida’s time and now planned parenthood was started and still is racist. I don’t see how they would be different. Candace Owens putting white liberal mob on check, and Ida putting lynch mob KKK on check. Both woman line up very identical.
This is probably the most delusional statement I've seen this month, and that's saying something. Congratulations.

What “agenda” is that? Slavery was bad? Surely we can all agree on that.
