The drawing places Wells’s efforts in the larger context of the war over public opinion, a shaming action necessary given government officials’ failure of will.

"Gentlemen," reads the caption, "cannot you persuade the white members of your party South, to cease these persecutions of your brethren?" At the time, the Southern branch of the Democratic party remained hostile to voting and civil rights for African Americans. While some African Americans in the Northwest were moving away from the Republican Party, which they saw as failing to protect those rights, this cartoon made clear that the Democrats offered no refuge for African American voters.

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.
