Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice
- 1989 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- vhs
- Born into slavery in a small town in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells became a schoolteacher and journalist, writing one of the first studies on mob violence entitled "The Red Record." Her personal sense of integrity and justice carried her into a lifelong crusade against racism, sexism and other indignities, calling upon men and women of conscience to bring moral, political and economic pressures to bear against the evils she identified. Wells led an anti-lynching campaign that took her to the capitals of urban America and Europe. Based, in part, on Wells' own memoir read on camera by writer Toni Morrison.
- Topics: (American Ethnic Studies: Afro-American, Biography, Women Studies)
