2:13:34Now PlayingEssence magazine invented a brand new award just to give to Tyra Banks, while ANTM contestants still haven't been compensated and Miss J is on GoFundMe. But this isn't new. In 1909, Ida B. Wells helped found the NAACP. They pushed her out, erased her from the founders list, created their highest honor - the Spingarn Medal, and gave it to the men who replaced her. She never received it. She died in 1931, forgotten by the organization she helped to build. It took 89 years for someone else to honor her.
From the NAACP in 1909 to Essence in 2026, Black institutions have been celebrating the people who harm Black women while erasing the women who built them. Tonight we're connecting the dots.
