About This Item
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1990. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Covers clean and bright, dog-ear to rear cover. Not from a library. No remainder mark. xxxii + 434 pages.
Born into slavery in 1862, Ida B. Wells was an African American journalist, newspaper editor, and one of the foremost crusaders against black oppression. This engaging memoir tells of her private life as mother of a growing family as well as her public activities as teacher, lecturer, and journalist in her fight against attitudes and laws oppressing blacks. It is an illuminating narrative of a zealous, race-conscious, civic- and church-minded black woman reformer, whose life story is a significant chapter in the history of Negro-White relations.
