ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
From a 1884 train-car insult to the 1892 Memphis lynchings, this episode traces how Ida B. Wells turned private humiliation into public investigation. Using newspapers, pamphlets, transatlantic tours, and meticulous statistics, she exposed lynching as a system of terror and economic control rather than spontaneous justice.
