BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Born into slavery, Ida B. Wells, a Black woman, decided early to speak up against injustice of all kinds, at all times, n matter the personal consequences. She raised her voice as a writer, co-owning her own newspaper, and persisted even when her printing press was destroyed by an angry white mob. As one of the founders of the NAACP, Well’s voice is heard on to today.
Well’s granddaughter, Duster writes a clear, powerful look at a brave woman. Good for any Black history, Civil Rights, American History class. Or use it in an ELA class as a concise biography example.
