The Light of Truth: Writings of an Anti-Lynching Crusader

The broadest and most comprehensive collection of writings available by an early civil and womenâ€™s rights pioneer

Seventy-one years before Rosa Parksâ€™s courageous act of resistance, police dragged a young black journalist named Ida B. Wells off a train for refusing to give up her seat. The experience shaped Wellsâ€™s career, andâ€”when hate crimes touched her life personallyâ€”she mounted what was to become her lifeâ€™s work: an anti-lynching crusade that captured international attention.

This volume covers the entire scope of Wellsâ€™s remarkable career, collecting her early writings, articles exposing the horrors of lynching, essays from her travels abroad, and her later journalism.Â The Light of TruthÂ is both an invaluable resource for study and a testament to Wellsâ€™s long career as a civil rights activist.
