Description: Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1931) was an investigative journalist, social worker and pioneering activist against racist violence and white supremacy in the United States. Born a slave, then freed, she was in turn a journalist, schoolteacher, editorial writer, lecturer, election candidate, social worker and probation officer. After the lynching of three friends by a "mob" in 1882, she traveled the U.S. and U.K. describing the atrocities of racist violence. Wells died on March 25, 1931 in Chicago.
