1:40Now PlayingIda B. Wells transformed from a quiet newspaper publisher into a fearless crusader for truth after witnessing a brutal pogrom in Memphis. Driven by the lynching of a close friend, she used her platform, The Free Speech, to dismantle the fabricated narrative used to justify racist violence across the South. By exposing the falsehood that lynching was a reaction to sexual assault, she revealed the reality of economic jealousy and systemic terror, ultimately changing the course of civil rights history forever.
