INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO 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.
Wells-Barnett’s fight evolved into institution-building—organizing, suffrage activism, and civic work in Chicago—showing how documenting truth and widening the arena can make injustice harder to sustain.
