"Tunica Mississippi in 1892, where she concluded that the father of a young white woman had implored a lynch mob to kill a black man with whom his daughter was having a sexual relationship. Under a pretense to, quote, save the reputation of his daughter. Oh my God. I know it's disgusting. So she was incensed by this, and she launched an extensive investigation of these things. And in 1892, she published a pamphlet called southern horrors, which detailed her findings. Through her lectures and books, she wrote a book called a red record in 1895. And in these writings, she countered the quote rape myth used by lynch moss to justify the murder of black men. And on May 21st, 1892, she published an editorial in the free speech refuting what she called, quote, that old threadbare lie that Negro men rape white women. If southern men are not careful, a conclusion might be reached, which will be very damaging to the moral reputation of their women. So I was like, all right, yeah. So through her research, she found that lynch victims had challenged white authority or had successfully competed with whites in business or politics. And so as a result of her outspokenness, a mob destroyed the building and the contents of the free speech and threatened to kill her. Oh my God. They like destroyed not just the offices like destroyed the building. And like the printing press and everything that was in that building. She thankfully was out of town at the time. She was vacationing in Manhattan. But she never returned to Mexico. She subsequently accepted a job with the New York age and continued her anti lynching campaign from New York City. And for the next three years, she resided in Harlem, initially as a guest at the home of civil rights leader and writer Timothy Thomas fortune and his wife Carrie. Also, according to historians, no copy of the Memphis free speech survives. Wow. Yeah, it's wild. So our only knowledge of it comes from a reprinted articles in other archived newspapers. Wow. So she eventually took her movement to England, and she established the British anti lynching society in 1894. She traveled twice to Britain and her yeah, right? She traveled twice to Britain and her campaign against lynching. The first time in 1893 in her second and 1894. And she and her supporters in America saw these tours as an opportunity for her to reach larger, white audiences with her anti lynching campaign, something she had been unable to accomplish in America. So in 1894, before leaving the U.S. for a second visit to Great Britain, Welles called on William Penn Nixon, who was the editor of the daily inter ocean, which was a newspaper in Chicago. And it was the only major white paper that persistently denounced lynching. Wow. So after she told Nixon about her planned tour, he asked her to write for the newspaper while in England kind of give dispatches of her time there. So that means that she was the first African American woman to be a paid correspondence for a mainstream white newspaper. That's awesome. Yeah, it's really cool. So she toured England, Scotland and Wales for two months. She addressed audiences of thousands, and she rallied this moral crusade amongst the British. She relied very heavily on her pamphlet southern horrors in her first tour, and she showed shocking photographs of actual lynchings, America. Oh, wow. So she was really using this kind of provocative in your face kind of educational way of saying like, this is real. You need to look at this because it is so terrible. It's real and it's happening and you need to do something about this. So as a result of her two lecture tours in Britain, she received a lot of coverage in the British and the American press, but many of the articles published by the American press at the time of her return to the U.S. was, they were pretty hostile personal critiques. Rather than actual reports of her anti lynching positions and beliefs. The New York Times, the gray lady, for example, called her, quote, a slanderous and nasty, nasty minded mullahs. Oh. Yeah, it's very, it's very bad. And you think about this, you know, the past becomes kind of flattened after a while. And so you imagine like the Jim Crow south, like all southerners, racists, and terrible and all this stuff. And the enlightened north, like New Yorkers, we're all abolitionists and knew what was what and that kind of thing. But this is The New York Times. Right. This was like the paper of record and they're saying terrible, nasty, low things about this woman who's trying to make change in her community. And the world. So despite these attacks, wells had nevertheless gained extensive recognition and credibility and an international audience of supporters for her cause. So a little bit about her personal life. So on June 27th and 1895, in Chicago at bethel AMA church, wells married attorney Ferdinand L Barnett. He was a widower with two sons. He lived in Chicago. He was a prominent attorney. He was a civil rights activist, and he was also a journalist. So like wells, he spoke widely against lynchings and for the civil rights of African Americans. And they had met actually in 1893 because they were working together on a pamphlet, protesting the lack of black representation at the world's Columbian exposition in Chicago. 23. So Barnett founded the Chicago conservator of the first black newspaper in Chicago. In 1878. And she began writing for the paper in 1893, and she later acquired a partial ownership interest. Oh, great. Yeah. And then after marrying him, she assumed the role of editor. So they were like, very, they were just very aligned in everything. That was a legal union as well as like this partnership of ideas and actions. They were both journalists. They were both established activists by the time they got married. They had a shared commitment to civil rights. In an interview, her daughter alfreda said that the two had like interests and that their journalist careers were intertwined. So this sort of close working relationship between a wife and husband was actually unusual at the time regardless of their race as women, as you know, often played a more traditional domestic role in a marriage. So in addition to Barnett's two children who their names were Ferdinand and Albert, the couple had four more, Charles akid, Hermann colsa. Ida bell wells Barnett junior, which I love, I love it when a woman names her girl after her senior year. There should be more lady juniors. I think that's important. And then the youngest was Alfredo margarita Barnett. Alfredo margarita. Her married name was duster, and she was a civil rights activist in her own right. Her name is alfreda duster. And she died in 1983, but she was a prominent Chicago civil rights activist. So in a chapter of wells posthumous autobiography, which was entitled crusade for justice. She describes the difficult challenge of splitting her time between family and work. And she continued to work after the birth of her first child. She traveled and brought the infant Charles with her, and although she tried to kind of balance her roles as mother and as a national activist. Oh my gosh. It was alleged that she was not always successful. As you might imagine, apparently Susan B. Anthony said that she seemed distracted, which is like, yasu, she was distracted. By her baby, by her babies. She's literally a woman doing it all, just because you decided to be, you know, by yourself, no kids, no husband, doesn't mean that you could be nasty about a woman who's got a kid. God..

You gotta try it. Yep. I know. It's spilled over to our House. When we see something, we're like, well, should we snack or whack this? I know. So, no, it's fine. My topic has absolutely nothing to do with candy. But it's February, but it is February, and it's black history month, and I wanted to make a contribution to that. And this person I have not, so I'm doing a biography today. And this person, I mean, I feel bad because I've always heard her name and I knew she was important to civil rights and just kind of black feminism in general. And I knew she was journalist. But I didn't really know the details of her life and what she actually did. And she's amazing. So today, my topic is going to be about Ida B wells. Ida B wells why can't you tell? Why can't you tell? So before I get into it just FYI, I got a lot of my research from the website black passed dot org. Make sure that you donate, they do a lot of good work. A lot of archiving and history and writing on the history of black people in the United States and also around the world. So definitely check them out. Also, the book to keep the waters troubled, the life of Ida B wells by Linda O McMurray, and black leaders of the 20th century, which is another book by John hope Franklin and August Meyer. So Ida bell wells, her middle name was Belle. Aw. That's my name. Bell Lake B E LL? Yes, like the ring ring ring. Instrumental. Isabel and instrument? Oh. Oh my God. On its on a single bill? Yeah. No, I don't think a single bellows an instrument, but I think if you got three bells, you got some instruments. You got some music going. Anyway, so Ida B wells was born in Holly springs, Mississippi, on July 16th, 1862. She was actually born into slavery during the Civil War. But once the war ended, her parents became politically active and reconstruction era politics. They were very active in the political environment in Mississippi during this time. And they also kind of instilled in her the importance of education. And due to that, she enrolled eventually at Shah college, which is now known as rust college. It's a historically black college founded in 1866, and it's actually one of the oldest of the methodist HBCUs. If you want to know more about historically black colleges and universities, please check out Julia's episode 60 entitled all caps college. It's very good. It's pretty good. I enjoyed it. Her father was also once a trustee at Shaw now rust. So in 1878, she went to visit her grandmother. But while she was there, she was informed that a yellow fever epidemic had hit her hometown. And the disease took both of her parents and her infant brother. So it was terrible. So following the funerals of her family, friends and relatives decided that the 5 remaining wells children should be separated and sent to various foster homes. I'm not having this. This is not happening. So to keep her younger siblings together as a family, she actually found work as a teacher and a black elementary school. In the county near Holly springs and her paternal grandmother named Peggy wells, along with other friends and relatives actually stayed with her siblings and cared for them during the week while wells was teaching and supporting the family. Good. About two years after wells grandmother Peggy had a stroke and her sister eugenie had died. Wells and her two youngest sisters moved to Memphis to live with an aunt who was known as fanny butler, and this was in 1883. So she's in Memphis now. She was hired in Woodstock by the Shelby county school system, and during her summer vacation she attended summer session at fisk university, which is also another HBCU in Nashville. And she also attended lemoyne Owen college, which is another HBCU in Memphis. She was she held really strong political opinions. She provoked many people with her views on women's rights. She was a strong personality she knew exactly what her mind was. At the age of 24, she wrote, I love this so much. Quote, I will not begin at this late day by doing what my soul abhors sugaring men weak deceitful creatures with flattery to retain them as escorts or to gratify a revenge. I was like, yes. Weak deceitful creatures. Sugaring that like just absolutely dripping with contempt. It's fantastic.

Although ida was in her early teens reportedly to be aged sixteen at the most of the time for parents death she was able to convince a local county administrator that she was eighteen years old and secured a job as a teacher.

When ida attempted to board the first clash train in sit in her paid for seat the train conductors demanded that she moved to another car that was designated for african americans. Ida as any sensible person would refused. She had paid for ticket and was rightly entitled to sit in her current place in first class naturally. The train operators became enraged. The nation was still so polarized after the civil war and although african americans were free they were not at all treated as human beings. Let alone equals who are afforded basic rights. A black woman such as ida standing up for herself with unacceptable to say the least ida was forcibly removed from the train. But not without a fight it was reported that ida was able to injure one of the men though. I'm sure not at all what was deserved based on her treatment. But i didn't stop the fight there. She filed a lawsuit against the train company and initially won the case and was awarded settlement after an appeal to the federal level. The case was overturned in the original verdict. Vacated idle lost her settlement and was ordered.
