Ida B. Wells and Patrisse Cullors, two women at the forefront of two massive movements in pursuit of justice.
Wells was more than just a journalist. She set out to use her investigative skills to find out the real reason Black men were being lynched, publishing her findings in a pamphlet and wherever else she could. Wells even travelled internationally to shed light on the lynchings happening in the U.S. A founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Wells was an activist and a leader of the Civil Rights Movement as well as the Women’s Rights Movement.
Taking the torch from Wells is Patrisse Cullors, who is leading a movement of her own.
An American author, artist and activist, Cullors is a founder of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. She has and continues to speak out on behalf of issues such as BLM and LGBTQ rights. She contributes to many causes and organizations as a self-proclaimed freedom fighter.
These two remarkable women refused to back down in the face of adversity, and their courage to stand up for what is right has led them to achieve great things in the way of creating a better future for all.
