Crusade for Justice

This engaging memoir chronicles the life of Ida B. Wells, a trailblazer in investigative journalism and a fierce advocate against lynching and for suffrage. Born to enslaved parents, she not only co-founded the NAACP but also led the Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago, collaborating with notable figures like W. E. B. Du Bois and Susan B. Anthony. The narrative offers insights into her private life as a mother alongside her relentless public activism for equality and justice, and features a new foreword by Eve L. Ewing and an afterword by her great-granddaughter, Michelle Duster.
