Ida B. Wells

Thematic Leadership Through a Gender Lens Curated by Chris Hegedus and Marie Wilson

Narrated by Toni Morrison, this film tells the story of Ida B. Wells, pioneering African-American journalist, activist, suffragist and anti-lynching crusader of the late 19th and 20th centuries. Born into slavery, Ida’s life is a compelling tale of how one woman’s fight against injustice changed history.
