A Strong Woman...
Ida B. Wells was sixteen years old when her parents and a younger brother passed away from yellow fever in 1878. As she coped with their death, Ida also challenged family members who wanted to split her and five younger siblings across foster homes. She took a job teaching and, with the support of her grandmother, took care of all the children.
With time, teaching evolved into writing. Ida became a journalist, writing about racial segregation and inequality. She was assertive, opinionated, not afraid to be controversial. She followed a belief that "the way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them."
As a journalist, she would have her office destroyed by a mob, her life threatened. She had to move for safety reasons, but she continued to write, challenging accepted norms with the truth. Amongst many efforts and accomplishments, she fought for racial and gender equality, became a co-founder of the NAACP, and was a mother to four children with her husband and two from his previous marriage.
