Ida B. Wells exposes a series of racially-motivated acts that
disproportionately affect African Americans and is overwhelmingly
ignored by a majority white criminal justice system. It's crucial
documentation of a brutal practice that tormented a community. In
the late nineteenth century, Ida B. Wells was a thriving journalist
and civil rights activist. She used her writing and skills as an
investigative reporter to reveal the horrifying reality that many
African Americans experienced. The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics
and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States, is an
explosive report on how mob violence and white supremacy had become
the de facto law of the land. It created a culture of cruelty and
anti-blackness that promoted public attacks, including lynchings.
Ida B. Wells' work helped to initiate conversations about racism,
policy and policing. Shortly after the release of The Red Record:
Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United
States, the first anti-lynching bill was introduced into Congress.
Wells' efforts were critical for African Americans seeking justice
in a historically racist system. With an eye-catching new cover,
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Red
Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the
United States is both modern and readable.
