Born to slaves in 1862, Ida B. Wells became a fearless antilynching
crusader, women's rights advocate, and journalist. Wells's refusal
to accept any compromise on racial inequality caused her to be
labeled a "dangerous radical" in her day but made her a model for
later civil rights activists as well as a powerful witness to the
troubled racial politics of her era. Though she eventually helped
found the NAACP in 1910, she would not remain a member for long, as
she rejected not only Booker T. Washington's accommodationism but
also the moderating influence of white reformers within the early
NAACP. In the richly illustrated "To Tell the Truth Freely," the
historian Mia Bay vividly captures Wells's legacy and life, from
her childhood in Mississippi to her early career in
late-nineteenth-century Memphis and her later life in
Progressive-era Chicago.
