What do you know about Ida B. Wells? Where do we start? She was a journalist who led an anti-lynching crusade in the US in the 1890s. And is the founder of the NAACP. She became disenchanted with the organization’s white and elite black leadership and distanced herself from the organization. She then founded and became the first president of the Negro Fellowship League which sided newly arrived migrants from the south. When she was just 14 years old she began teaching at a country school. Very gifted early on!
