Ida B Wells Barnett


Ida B Wells Barnett
1862-1931
African American journalist, was an active crusader against lynching and a champion of social and political justice for African Americans.
In 1884, while she was traveling by train from school, Wells was forcibly thrown out of a first-class car by the conductor because she refused to ride in the car set aside for African Americans which was nicknamed the "Jim Crow" car. She had purchased a first-class ticket and was determined not to move from her seat, but she was not able to defend herself against the conductor, who literally dragged her from her seat while some of the white passengers applauded. However, Wells, who was determined to fight for justice, sued the railroad and won her case.

Ida B Wells Barnett
One had better die fighting against injustice than die like a dog or a rat in a trap.
Its a fact:
All 50 states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on theback of the $5 bill.In most advertisements, including newspapers, the time displayed on watch is 10:10.The muzzle of a lion is like a fingerprint - no two lions have the same pattern of whiskers.dragonfly has a lifespan of 24 hours
The only planet without a ring is earth.
