So grateful for these Black American History Crash courses! I can’t believe people gave this a thumbs down. For some reason, truth ruffles people’s feathers. ☺️
So Ida Wells was the original Rosa Parks, who stood up against bus seating discrimination and helped organize the Montgomery bus boycott against bus segregation laws. Very fascinating stuff. Hope one day she too will get covered on this channel.
as an Australian I know very little about any US history... but now I know why Buddy Guy sings so passionately about Miss Ida B. I had wondered who she was!
Thanks for this info Dr. Clint! In NY City there is a school for pregnant teens named after her but not much was taught about her. Between you and Killer Mike, I've come to realize Ida B. Wells was as fierce as Harriet Tubman and deserves much more recognition and honor than she has previously received. This woman was a GIANT in American history!
Thank you for making such a detailed and accessible resource. It is much easier to know where we're going when we know where we've been; though I'm not American, the US continues to have a huge influence on the world. I can't imagine it's always easy to present something so deeply unfair in your own culture. I'm still distrustful of the way British intervention has caused the region of many of my ancestors - India - to be at such great odds with itself.
I watched this because I knew some of her writing, and even though the host tried to stay neutral this somehow hit harder. I'm white and under 50, but I was fortune enough to have a college professor who didn't balk in the face of criticism even in Atlanta. And I recommend anyone with any critical thinking skills read her work. She isn't perfect just like any person is a product of her time but I think she is amazing. More so than many Americans American writers around her time.
I like the spotlight episodes. It gives some faces and stories to what is sometimes presented as a list of facts and dates. The facts and dates are important, don't get me wrong, but it's good to hear about the people who tried to make a difference also.
She is a hero of mine! Thank you to whoever publishes this informational channel! You are now a hero of mine! The ignorance is what keeps hate because whoever hears these editions you are providing can not not see how wrong black people came up here! She was birthed in heaven one year after my grandmother was born. She went out like an Ida B Wells. She believed in the barter system and helped the black community that way and she believed in green leaves and I told her about Jesus before she died. I know she will be in heaven when I hopefully get there. She was told by her husband that it’s better not to know Jesus.
Before this series I’m not gonna lie I wanted racism and discrimination to stop but due to so many BLM protest and BLM trial always leaning towards injustice and helping the oppressor I thought I could not do anything about it. With this video and series I’m like if a woman could change the world in the 1800’s with 5 siblings to take care of , education and a full time job, there is no way I cannot do it. I’m learning a little more how to have the fierceness and the strategic mind to fight fo BLM and black conditions
Taking this course during black history month. Awed and honored to learn about these amazing people. Angry that no one cared enough to teach me this earlier. Thank you.
I never heard of this crash course i am new here just subscribe thank you for the history lesson I enjoyed my comment nothing really has change they still don't want us to own anything they will always find away to take back
Question, why did she skip Ted Roosevelt? He was certainly more amendable to civil rights for African Americans than McKinley or Wilson (granted, not exactly a high bar), but his meeting with Booker T. Washington was largely unproductive. Am I wrong about something or missing information? In any matter, thank you for the program and keep on keepin on.
This series is helping to fill a HUGE gap in my education. Better late, than never. Thank you.
This series is helping me ensure that my students don't have that gap in their education. Thank you, Clint and Crash Course team.
It's amazing how one woman was able to do so much back then, her bravery and determination is admirable and an inspiration.

I'm not even American but crash course keeps expanding my view of the world
To give a timestamp, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by 16th president Abraham Lincoln when she was only 6 months old in 1863.

A well done episode as always. Clint really captures the gravity of such horrible acts, it is sad to know how recent this is in human history.

She should be commemorated on our currency. What a brave person!!
Amazing content! I thought I knew a bit but I have learned so much more

Crazy how im 30 just now hearing of her. Gotta love our country right. Hidden secrets are great.
Good luck petitioning Woodrow Wilson for civil rights and racial equality.

Great informative series,& it’s tragic that integration has meant the watering down,& marginalization of Black History.
How stylish

Instead of participating in that abomination of a movie called "WOMAN KING", Viola Davis should have supported a Biopic about "IDA B, WELLS-BARNETT."

Ida B Wells, more like Ida Bae Wells, amirite?
EDIT: The kids don't say "bae" anymore, do they? 😥
Why do only the people with beards have mouths? 😶
