Ida B. Wells’ great-granddaughter, Michelle Duster, reflects on the extraordinary life and legacy of Wells-Barnett by taking us on a journey through her new book “Ida B. The Queen.” Wells was born into slavery in 1862 but by the late 19th century she had become a prominent journalist, activist, and researcher. As a skilled writer she documented and shed light on the conditions that African Americans suffered throughout the South and the lynching to foreign audiences. She was “the voice of the people.”

Wells. She has written articles for Essence, Refinery29, HuffPost, Teen Vogue, and The North Star.
