  3. Biography of Journalist • In 1895, Wells married Barnett.She set an early precedent as being one of the first married American women to keep her own last name along with her husband's. • The couple had four children: Charles, Herman, Ida, and Alfreda. • Ida B. Wells was born in Holy Springs, Mississippi. • Ida B. Wells was classified as a newspaper editor. • Her father James Wells was a carpenter and her mother was Elizabeth "Lizzie" Warrenton Wells. Both parents were enslaved until freed under the Proclamation, one year after she was born.

  4. Accomplishments • In 1892 she published a pamphlet titled Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases, and A Red Record, 1892–1894, which documented research on a lynching. • The Red Record is a one hundred page pamphlet describing lynching in the United States since the Emancipation Proclamation, while also describing blacks’ struggles since the time of the Emancipation Proclamation. • The lesson she taught was that a Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give.

  5. Organizations/Causes/Philanthropy • She helped shape: the National Association of Colored Woman • Ida was a member of the Loyal League which was a local black political group. • The only cause I could find that Ida was in for was justice! She believed that all black people should be free, and have the same exact rights that white’s have.
