518    Originally produced by California Newsreel in 1989. 
520    Documents the dramatic life and turbulent times of the 
       pioneering African American journalist, activist, 
       suffragist and anti-lynching crusader of the post-
       Reconstruction period. 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.
