Chrisy’s Reviews > The Collected Works of Ida B. Wells-Barnett: PergamonMedia > Status Update

Ida B. Weld Barnett is a brave woman and righteous journalist. I most likely will have nightmares having read the accounts of lynchings and burning of black citizens - the barbarism is unthinkable- this was within the years my great-grandparents were alive....not thousands of years ago when Romans were crusifying people. Anyone who doubts the legitimate concerns of black lives matter needs to read this collection.

I can hardly get through a page without stopping to add notes about the thoughts and actions of deep seeded racism, and the evidence of how it functions.
