Ida B. Wells was a social reformer and a social activist.
She was also a journalist that wrote countless articles
that condemned racism. She lived from 1862 to 1931.
Ida B. Wells lived in Bronzeville. She lived in a greystone
near 36th and King Drive. Her home is now a National Landmark.
There is a movement to have a statue erected in her honor.
If this movement is successful, her statue will probably reside
somewhere on King Drive near her old home.
Ida B. Wells dedicated her life to the fight for justice and equality
for African Americans. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of
a statue in Bronzeville. Will she get one? Stay Tuned…
Until the next time,
