Présentation de l'éditeur

Born to slaves in 1862, Ida B. Wells became a fearless antilynching crusader, women s rights advocate, and journalist. Wells s refusal to accept any compromise on racial inequality caused her to be labeled a dangerous radical in her day but made her a model for later civil rights activists as well as a powerful witness to the troubled racial politics of her era. Though she eventually helped found the NAACP in 1910, she would not remain a member for long, as she rejected not only Booker T. Washington s accommodationism but also the moderating influence of white reformers within the early NAACP. In the richly illustrated TO TELL THE TRUTH FREELY, the historian Mia Bay vividly captures Wells s legacy and life, from her childhood in Mississippi to her early career in late-nineteenth-century Memphis and her later life in Progressive-era Chicago.
