Wells Description An account of the resource Anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells was a former Memphis schoolteacher and journalist. In 1892, as co-owner of the Memphis newspaper Free Speech, Wells exposed the lies regarding the lynching of the three African American men. She urged her readers to boycott white businesses, and even to leave town, prompting an exodus that had a lasting economic impact on the city of Memphis. In addition, she used her newspaper to correct the record and challenge the rape/lynching narrative. After a white mob retaliated, by destroying her press and forcing her into exile in the North, she launched a series of meticulously documented speeches and pamphlets, including <a title="Southern Horrors (1892)" href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14975/14975-h/14975-h.htm">Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases</a> (1892) and, as Ida B.

He began his career as the Richmond correspondent for the New York Freeman, and took over the editorship of the <a title="The Richmond Planet" href="http://songswithoutwords.org/items/show/204">Richmond Planet</a> in 1884. In 1891, early journalism historian I. Garland Penn called Mitchell a "[b]old and fearless writer almost to a fault," whose "forte as an editor [was] to battle against outrages perpetrated upon his people in the South." Mitchell was elected to the Richmond City Council in 1888, but remained the Planet's editor through the 1890s. Under Mitchell's editorship, the Planet was an independent critic of moderation. He died in 1929, a penniless man.
