Though virtually forgotten today, Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a household name in Black America during much of her lifetime (1863-1931) and was considered the equal of her well-known African American contemporaries such as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice documents the dramatic life and turbulent times of the pioneering African American journalist, activist, suffragist and anti -lynching crusader of the post-Reconstruction period. Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison reads selections from Wells' memoirs and other writings in this winner of more than 20 film festival awards. "One had better die fighting against injustice than die like a dog or a rat in a trap." - Ida B. Wells "Tells of the brave life and works of the 19th century journalist, known among Black reporters as 'the princess of the press,' who led the nation's first anti-lynching campaign." - New York Times "A powerful account of the life of one of the earliest heroes in the Civil Rights Movement...The historical record of her achievements remains relatively modest. This documentary goes a long way towards rectifying that egregious oversight." - Chicago Sun-Times "A keenly realized profile of Ida B. Wells, an African American who used her potent skills as writer and orator to fight racism and sexism." - Los Angeles Times. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Wells-Barnett, Ida B|d1862-1931. 650 0 African American women|xAfrican American women journalists |xAfrican American women civil rights workers|vBiography. 650 0 African Americans|xCivil rights|xSocial conditions|y1877- 1964|vHistory|zUnited States. 650 0 Racism|xRace discrimination|xRace relations|xLynching |vHistory|zUnited States. 650 0 Women |xSuffrage|vHistory|zUnited States. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Greaves, William |efilm director. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/139682|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/139682/external -image
