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.”

About the Author:

Michelle Duster is a writer, speaker, professor, and champion of racial and gender equity. In over a decade, she has written, edited, or contributed to eleven books.  Including cowriting the popular children’s history book, Tate and His Historic Dream; coedited Shifts and Michelle Obama’s Impact on African American Women and Girls; and edited two books that include the writings of her great-grandmother, Ida B. Wells. She has written articles for EssenceRefinery29HuffPostTeen Vogue, and The North Star.
