Seventy-one years before Rosa Parks's courageous act of resistance, police dragged a young Black journalist named Ida B. Wells off a train for refusing to give up her seat. The experience shaped Wells's career, and--when hate crimes touched her life personally--she mounted what was to become her life's work: an anti-lynching crusade that captured international attention. This volume covers the entire scope of Wells's remarkable career, collecting her early writings, articles exposing the horrors of lynching, essays from her travels abroad, and her later journalism. The Light of Truth is both an invaluable resource for study and a testament to Wells' long career as a civil rights activist"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000858438 60010 $$aWells-Barnett, Ida B.,$$d1862-1931$$vArchives. 000858438 650_0 $$aLynching$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$vSources. 000858438 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xCivil rights$$xHistory$$vSources. 000858438 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xSocial conditions$$yTo 1964$$vSources. 000858438 650_0 $$aWomen's rights$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$vSources. 000858438 650_0 $$aAfrican American women social reformers$$vArchives. 000858438 650_0 $$aAfrican American women civil rights workers$$vArchives. 000858438 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRace relations$$xHistory$$y19th century$$vSources. 000858438 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRace relations$$xHistory$$y20th century$$vSources. 000858438 7001_ $$aBay, Mia. 000858438 7001_ $$aGates, Henry Louis,$$cJr. 000858438 830_0 $$aPenguin classics. 000858438 85200 $$bgen$$hHV6457$$i.B362$$i2014 000858438 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:858438$$pGLOBAL_SET 000858438 980__ $$aBIB 000858438 980__ $$aBOOK
