Ida Wells was born enslaved but refused to live in fear. She wielded the power of the press to expose America’s greatest terror—lynching. When the truth made her a target, she didn’t back down. She co-founded the NAACP, fought for Black women’s voting rights, and left a legacy of resistance!

Do you feel the same about the countless white women marginalized or taken as sex slaves in the many non-white countries like Africa, Asia and the Middle East?. It would seem to me every culture is discriminatory in some way aren't they?.

Just my opinion—our past leaders were in the streets, living what they preached. Highly educated yet still for the people. Today, too many leaders say one thing and do another—smug, phony, and full of cowardice. The difference between real conviction and performative power is clear. ✊🏾

"...no colored man, no matter what his reputation, is safe from lynching if a white woman, no matter what her standing or motive, cares to charge him with insult or assault." Every "Karen" dreams of being this evil.

Blk women marched & protested for those rights, & they got nothing & white women were fine with it. There’s NOTHING that white men have done in this country w/o his white women standing right by his side in agreement, actually the women masters were more ruthless than the men. Ya’lls fight now!

She is so much braver than we’re being right now…I hope we can channel all the inspiration we can round up to fight for who we are

Hate to be a Jerk but The Press is Owned by those Nazi/KKKlowns now, so it’s going to take much more than that this time. Voices are useful in a time of Reason ! But that went right out the window. Your President is Smiling on TV about Committing Genocide and Taking the peoples land for Hotels. 🙄

I think you might be on the wrong thread. This is about honoring Black American history. Black people never relied on White-owned press—we built our own. Ida B. Wells, Frederick Douglass & more led independent journalism. Don’t just take my word for it—DYOR. 📚✊🏾 Reading Rainbow style. 🤓

On Everyone’s thread ! Sorry but worlds falling apart need everyone to pay attention. No Disrespect intended. I mean how long until they come to take what you’ve all built. Your people were made slaves, mine were killed n had children taken and were put into Residential schools, and onto Reserves.

Black ppl have always been the target—it never stopped, just changed forms. They stole our names, identity. Black kids were used as ‘gator bait’ & human toys. Everything we build, they destroy. No reparations, no settlements. No trauma bonding. 400+ yrs of this—the world’s been falling apart.

You cannot erase history or the people who fought to preserve it. It has been written and will never go away, no matter how much Trump wants to whitewash it with his little blonde press, secretary, or any other white supremacist nationalist he puts in office.

True grassroots activism is rare. Ida B. Wells wasn’t paid or protected—she exposed truth at great risk. A pioneering investigative journalist, not a mouthpiece. History isn’t erased, but it must be defended. A lost art.
