- There are few Chicago historical figures whose life and work speak to the current moment more than Ida B. Wells, the 19th century investigative journalist, civil rights leader, and passionate suffragist. WTTW brings you a new CHICAGO STORIES special that tells her story as never before.
Freed from slavery just six months after she was born, Ida B. Wells once described her childhood with her parents and siblings in Holly Springs, Mississippi as “happy.” But a tragedy would alter the course of Wells’ youth. As a young woman and teacher, she refused to give up her seat on a train car that she was told was reserved white women. That incident launched the young Wells into her first public fight for justice.
Through writing, Ida B. Wells found her “real” self. As she put pen to paper, her words became an important tool to analyze, debate, and persuade readers on the issues of the day, particularly when it came to race and gender. But after the lynching of her close friend in Memphis, Wells found a new kind of power in her pen.

I'm that's my Ida Davenport Ira Davenport twins white in fact wells are my family is white. Barbara sont related to me ashata not a Gordon brennen Somer Washington Taylor.
I just got off the phone in with linkedin
Colitlion is being shut down for stealng 30billion off Gina Marie Gordon. I'm certain that Gina Marie Gordon is the anagramist . I am certain i own Google Inc . I'm certain DNA shows i own the records I'm certain Ida Davenport is still alive
Her husband recognizing that she was spectacular is amazing. He let her stick to the plan and be who she was and wasn’t intimidated but proud of her. Ida addressing real problems and her vigilance to not only protect black men and families should be more widely recognized
The BLACK women slaves HATED their lives. How can anyone have the AUDACITY to say they LOVED the way they were treated. All BLACK women today would you love to be treated like such and say it was LOVE. HONESTY.
These beings stole everything from us
Yess, she was blessed!
They don't want to understand us,as black people..sad on there part!
Yes,your right! We are people too..with feelings
This documentary brought tears to my eyes. She was a very strong black woman ❤️
I love the fact her husband supported her career.
Marshea Me Too. It’s sad that I”m just learning about her in this way and I’m 43. I wish they would’ve taught about her in school in detail like this well put documentary
She was strong and beautiful just like most of us today🥰❤️🖤💚and God help those who are living beneath their privilege.
It would be a beautiful day to see the faces of those who think GOD MAKE A MISTAKE ,BY MAKING SUCH PEOPLE THEY HATED SO MUCH , AND STILL hating on GOD'S BEAUTIFUL HAND MADE,..... it will be a great day .

Like Patrisse culluz oh lawd so SKRONG! Lmao. My people need help. From themselves I guess. 🤷🏿♂️
I really find it difficult to see in the lynching picture how people including children can stand there smiling and looking so happy about someone hanging dead or dying…….that’s another level of being evil to the core.
I was thinking the same thing. There was one little girl in one of those photos that struck me so hard - pure evil.
ditto, so disgusting.
Just sick and disgusting.
Devils...Savages.....
That is exactly what certain people wanted to instill in children from a young age when inviting them to lynching “parties”.
If we’re still fighting for the same thing today that Ida B Wells was a century ago, something is wrong with this picture. Are we going to be forever begging and asking and demanding???
I believe so
Bingo
I was thinking the same thing. On one side they talk about how fair this nation has come and then on the other hand they act like Americans are victimized. Can’t have it both ways. I call that keeping American down for life and we know why, Votes…
Only God Knows!!
@@Floyd69 WE HAVE CAME FAR👈🏾 BUT NOT FAR ENOUGH AND I'M HOLDING AMERICA DOWN FOR MY ANCESTORS THAT DIED FOR MY RIGHTS I HAVE TODAY. I'M LOYAL TO THE BLOOD IN THE SOIL. PERIOD AND I DON'T VOTE SO IT'S NO THEY OVER HERE AND IF YOU TALKING POLITICS RUN FOR OFFICE AND THEN LET US KNOW THE ☕☕ BECAUSE WE WAITING
The more I read about Ms. Wells and having 6 books on her, I realize 3 things that frustrate my soul so very much. 1.) How Class played a major role in even in our race. 2.)Sexism played a major part. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. looked down on her. 3.) Even the Church was scared to fight for freedom and seen Ms. Wells as a troublemaker. When she clearly wanted us to rise up and defend ourselves. Then there was a 4th issue I notice, White Women wanted rights and respect from their men, but they couldn't even put down their racism to include black women equally. Just think if Upper Middle Class Blacls, Other Civil Rights Leaders during that time, the Bkack Church and Women Rights Groups had a backbone and joined Ms. Wells how more advance our race would have been. The total lack of respect she received during the last decade of her life makes me sick. She should be mention along MLK, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks. Because she attributes they all had before all but Harriet Tubman was born. It is a shame she isn't honored. I love this women and everything she stood for. R.I.P. Ms. Ida B. Wells.
As a white woman this history IS so disturbing. African Americans are "People too"
What a brave woman may all these racist people spin in their graves
Zora Neale Hurston got no love from "the brothers" either. The treatment of Queen Bess by the black community was probably the most shameful neglect of the period.
Even in this time and age they still don't respect women leaders
Then they want to tell people to love thy enemies. The lady was force to become a murderer in order to stay alive in such radical society
I’m so excited that Ida Wells-Barnett finally has received a documentary. This helps synthesize so much biographical and sociological information about her not available - even to graduate students like myself who are just exploited and below the paywall needed for the historical/archival data shown here. Thank you so much !
There are Several documentaries out there about her. She gets recognition.
I get so upset they don’t teach these stories in high school or even college classes
White children were taught at an early age that lynching is like going to the circus. They felt nothing like empathy.
Blessings ❤
Such a well done documentary! Thanks to WTTWChicago for putting this together and enlightening us with the legacy Ida B. Wells left all Americans.
WELL DONE HELL NO
Ida B Wells Barnett epitomizes what mission blacks in this country and around the world should still be striving and fighting for today. She has always been one of my favorite black history pioneers. Her mission is so eternally relevant in the 21st century. She was truly a trailblazer of her time.
Remarkable woman, Ida B. Wells-Barnett and American Black History. I thank God for her courageous existence and undeniable fortitude and resilience. With much love & respect, thank you Ms. Ida and WTTW for an excellent documentary🙏💖
I am so honored to know of such a fierce, brilliant and loving, tactical woman. All that she created, organized, and attempted in the face of perpetual nonsense: Sexism, racism, classism, erasure…. Standing Salute in the spirit of gratitude.
Y'all, please read "Crusade for Justice" - this summarizes the book. This amazing woman stood up to the CIA. I don't know if this documentary covers that.... but the book will leave in awe, angered, empowered, amazed, and a full range of emotions.
She existed long before the CIA
AMAZING book
What a woman!!! Amazing legacy full of teachings for all people willing to learn!!
Thanks so much for this short, but Beautiful 😍 "Biopic" life of this "Amazing " Women, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, her Husband that backed her, her few allies, the Presenters and to Her " Grear Grands" that made sure Mrs Ida's legacy remained alive and current in this time. As the struggle continues even to this "Day", eye'm alive and greatful 🙏 🙌 that 👁 eye was able to see 👀 and hear this much needed "Herstory"! Rest In Power, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett. 👍🔥.
From Springfield, IL and never knew about this brave woman! This and ALL other black history should have BEEN being taught in schools.
Hello, how are you doing??
New York Jewish woman agreeing.
@@missiris1234 I am so white I glow - but have one African great great grandparent & one Jewish great great grandparent! Who cares as long as all races recognize we need this wonderful people in the telling of our American history.🇺🇸
You'd have to take a college course unfortunately.
This documentary after they included blm, makes it crap.
I love this woman and find so much fire, power & peace in her example. This is also so informative, well told and well researched. Shout to Pulitzer winning 1619 Project! The intersections of her life with World's Fair, Frederick Douglass & W.E.B. Du Bois are crazy....but it's HER story, HER spirit and HER work that trumps it all. Sad she is not more known, but she will never be forgotten. She did her work!
Read Crusade for Justice for the full story.
Also read her biography, Ida B Wells, A Sword Among Lions by Paula Giddings.

Great story, Great Lady!
In respect to Ida B Wells I realize how much of her dynamic spirit my mom had in her and how my mom passed that same dynamic spirit to me. Black women are the core support of our Black men. I found my dynamic spirit is best served by providing services to the children of all minority families. I am an Ida B Wells.
I have learned so much from this documentary. It has changed my entire outlook on the community I serve, (Bronzeville), because I know this is where it all started! My respect for Ida B. Well-Barnett have grown tremendously. Thank you for this history lesson that was way overdue.
Ida B. Wells was a true humanitarian. She had a genuine desire to help those in need, which contrasted with the attitudes of the snobbish old school established blacks who considered themselves 'more polished' and unwilling to do the same as Ms. Wells. Good for her.
As an older woman and educator, I never knew her story. I'm so impressed and proud of the knowledge of her courage!
I heard about her when I was younger but now I can full learn more by watching this documentary and it will encourage me to research her even further. I love watching documentary about history.
Most Beautiful story ever. Thank you Ida B Wells 💯❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾 I'm teaching my grandchildren about you. God's angel your name will live on. And what you represented is greatly appreciated. 💯❤️❤️ You really loved your people.
I grew up in the same neighborhood that is being discussed and given I'm 66 yrs old and my mother was born in 1917 I remember a lot of the carry-over of this era.
I wish a movie is done on her life, especially with a fairly new actress coming in the business. Having said that, I'm 45 yo and always heard my grandmother talk about Mrs Wells and other great, black pioneers in the struggle. To read some of her writings, still to this day still ring true.
Not the same tired ppl.
This information is educational, inspirational and very heart wrenching. This story is full of hope plus shows you what one genuine determined woman is capable of doing.
This is my first time hearing about Ida B. Wells, I feel nothing but love and pride for this lady. She was strong and skillful.
This is a powerful and positive story. We can all learn a lesson from such a Great Woman. I feel blessed a and inspired.
Fighting for Justic is never easy but Necessary.
Thanks for sharing and bringing World Awareness to this story.
Blessings
This video, history of this educated, strong, courageous, black woman and all she did to help our people, and all the injustices she, they endured is a awesome story. They stood up against all odds.
So proud of them, some risked and lost their lives to get a better life for our people. Thank God for giving them strength to endure the fight for injustices.. Amazing!
I wished I would have learned this in school! Thanks for letting me know about Ida B Wells
Exactly!
Me too. I am learning who I am and about my people as an adult now.
So glad my dad taught us about all the great Black Americans. He use to say leave all that history you learned at school . It will not benifit you. I learned about medgar evers Emmett Till Shirley Chisholm Benjamin Banneker Malcolm X Ella Fitzgerald fats Domino madam CJ Walker Fanny hamer the list go on. Thank you Dad 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾
Me, too, I wished I had learned it in school, but there it is again, this truth kept hidden!
A large poster of her hung on the wall in my US History II classroom.
I'm really glad this came up on my feed. What an impressive and strong woman. Truly admirable and extremely intelligent.
Excellent and long overdue. Well done Madame Wells.
Rrre
WOW!!! I am 67 and I have never heard of this Magnificent Woman before. SMH!!! I'm going to suggest this video to my fifteen year old granddaughter. Thanks so much for this video. .... PEACE to ALL.
I was taught about her in school in 1971. In the first African American History class offered at GSU. Now there is a whole degree program.
Such a great documentary. I’m in awe of Mrs. Ida B Wells-Barnett. Such brilliance and love for it people. Wow
Oliver Samuel at large
Fantastic documentary! Thank you for posting it. RIP Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnet🕊💖.
WoW!! Never knew THIS much about Ms Ida B Wells. Barnett. Didn't even know she had children 😔what a revelation. Very thorough and informative.
Thank You Ms.Ida B. Wells for paving the way for us. We are truly grateful to you and your family.🙏🏽🌹
This was so great and so interesting, the story of the brave Ida B. Wells I never heard a story of hers with a full biography like this, thank you so much for this great great story.
Such a great documentary about such a legendary woman fr
She wrote it with other men so it's pimp game on the top bottom B.Wells done
I am so proud of our young people who are carrying the torch of Ida B. Wells. Her work as a groundbreaking, determined, truth-seeking, courageous, gifted, hard-working, brilliant journalist should be studied by every journalism student. No one should be able to become a journalist without studying this woman and her work.
THIS is an AMAZING WOMAN! Every school child should know her name and what she did.
An amazing woman! A woman of principles, integrity, grit and intelligence. America today is going backwards in so many ways related to racial, religious and gender issues. This documentary should be shown to children in our schools. Thank you!
Thank for all contributing people and agencies. This is a story that inspires. Blessings to the family and cultural historians.💪🏾🙏🏾♥️✍🏾
Hello, how are you doing??
The irony of this story….is… today 2022 We are still fighting for the same justices! Great information, I knew about her, but wasn’t aware of the details of her life! Thank You!
It is so unfortunate that we are still fighting the same battles. It makes me sick that the white women didn’t want to march with the black women. I’m like seriously? We can’t overcome the oppression if we aren’t united, and pushing others beneath us does not help anything. It’s the same battle if white women and black women are beneath men. We are all women, furthermore, we are all PEOPLE. Drives me crazy!
What an amazing woman! A true inspiration 👏 I want take a leap from her example and show no fear. I am Truly touched by this wonderful woman's story and deeds. She has truly earned her place in heaven.
There is no " earning" into heaven . Yeshua the Christ did it all.
She was strong, smart,intelligent , and supported by her husband. She was really the co-founder of the NWACP but was given to a man. Women like her will always be number two in my book, other than my beautiful mother, who brought twelve of us in this world. Stay strong ladies with respect for others.
Thank you Ms.Ida B.Wells❤I glad to know this Sista's Story!😊💝🌷🌷
Ms. Ida B. Wells was a true heroine! Courageous, gifted, and dedicated to a tedious righteous cause.
Bro. Obie Amos.
Such a great history! I am so proud to be an alumna of the same HBCU that first educated Dr. Ida B. Wells, Rust College!
Women have started a lot of abolitionist movements and got put in file 13 by men who want glory for themselves. Thank you for telling Ida B. Well's powerful story. I would not have known it. I'm inspired to stand for justice.
Men in your group ? Cause their's a saying in the Bible to treat people in kind is blow back huh?
@@buddyacesmxbc1055 p 0.01 ppppp
What a great documentary and phenomenal woman. Thank you Ida B. Wells. 🙏☝🌹💖
I love this woman and every single fiber about her. From the crown of her head to the soles of her feet a true heroine of life... Gods got to be grasping her ever so tight while she’s resting in peace not out of mind just out of sight.
Oh boy, I can't stop crying. Extremely thankful for beautiful souls like Mrs. Ida, her boldness, strength, wisdom and courage to fight for me and my sisters and brothers is remarkable. I give honor to her and all the leaders who stepped out on the front, took the time to really fight for our place in social humanization to exist and to be treated fairly, as we know we will never be treated equally in this free world. Rest in peace all the powerful black leaders thank you for your bravery, your resilience, and vision. Rest to all my brothers who were lynch from the beginning, in this moment I thank God for you all and I will kiss the sky, the ground and the air. Can't thank you enough, fly high my Loves you deserve every place in the sky.
I was blessed to have a school that thought me about the holocaust, black slavery, Chinese and Native American injustices. I teach my kids this. Good thing is that now I tell my kids they can be whoever they want just by believing in themselves and learning from our history !
I actually grew up in the Ida B Wells projects on 38th and South Parkway which became King Drive in the late 1950s and all of the 1960s. The street behind me was Rhodes Avenue. I remember the Chicago Daily News don't know if it's still up and going. Anyway, this is a large part of my past. My grandmother came to the area in the late 1930s I even had an uncle go to Burke Elementary School and he was much much older than me remember my mother was 40 years older than me. I remember when the worse crime was men that drank wine and would sing on the corners. But sad to say I have learned more about Ida B Wells on here than I ever did in school although I grew up while the last generation of these great people were being laid to rest.
I am embarrassed and angry that my whitewashed education failed to include Ida B. Wells’ legacy and contribution to American history.
All education is Not the responsibility of the Government !l Did You get a good education ?? As with many things in the USA, they just give the basics, and with many licensed professions they will license you with just the basic knowledge !! I find this rediculous !! you are good to learn more cultural and historical things, we must know where we've been to get to where we are going !!
@@ms.martiegallego8834 literally called public schools. Do better.
@@deborahmorales7096 “white washed” yup, that was my experience as well. Though the things that really stood out to me, and inspired me the most, were the things that were skimmed over. They do skew things to make them appear differently, then get to the real world, and it was NOTHING like I expected.
@j believe me, I know that the system doesn’t want me to have any ideas. I’ve always had my own ideas, and that has caused me immense grief-I have found that it’s the right message when people are trying to shut you up. I’m sort of obsessed now, actually. There are still some contradictions, but I’m finding that if I draw a line between the two, I’m pretty close to my own experiences. If you have any suggestions of documentaries, books, articles, channels, etc, I’ll add them to my list. 💜💜💜
@j sweet, that would be amazing! ✌️
This is my 1st time even hearing about this courageous black woman. I'm proud of what she did with her life, about lynching and how she looked out for black people. I enjoyed watching this video from beginning to end. Her family should be so very proud of her and to carry on her name. Wow!
I love her. We learned about her in grade school. A brilliant and extremely brave woman. Her life exemplifies what makes someone a hero. ❤
She’s my shero too
Ida B Wells deserves so much recognition for all that she did and strived to do in her life - beginning at the age of 16, no less, when most of us haven't a clue about life and how to care for ourselves!! Ida was clearly a special human. She believed in the truth - that ALL MEN/WOMEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, regardless of their skin color. Despite all the judgment and set backs due to being black and a woman, she persisted through it all. Ida remained resilient, honest to the core, courageous and humble. I only wish she were alive today, to know that we have the highest respect for her. May she rest in peace.
Thank you for this inspiring and strong black woman’s story. Long live African Americans.
Indeed.😊 We appreciate knowing about our history of🌹Ida Bell Wells was a Legend.Amazing History of Strength Courage etc✊🏽❤️☮️Amen🙏🏽
Yes indeed
Thank you for sharing this beautiful Documentary of this phenomenal, brave and confident woman.
Another part of history I was never taught about in school in the 60's and 70's. Ida's work should not be swept under the rug, but celebrated.
I love this beautiful story. She spoke very eloquent
Spread this strong and beautiful history with your families, friends and communities. Stay blessed.
True inspiration and sadly we are still fighting for the same things in 2022.
Wow, after watching Ida B Wells, I'm inclined to believe that women are the backbone of men. She embodies what's best about America, her compassion, courage and fortitude and she always championed the less fortunate among us. Why it's enough to make you want to stand up and Cheer!
This was excellent ! I feel like I know Mrs.Ida B Wells much better now, and what an amazing woman she was !
Excellent bio - should be included in all US curriculums. Should've been a part of my public school education in the 1970s. Never let up -- keep pushing for what's right.
You must be dreaming, look at how those people mostly Trumpets look at the subject like CRT...lol
@@albertabreu1981 I'm a Trumpet and i'm against CRT at schools but I'm for Ida's bio to be in our curriculums.
Puts a whole new take on black lives matter. Got me very emotional and thinking what my own family endured just to survive, along with the endless number of people throughout history. So much was accomplished through countless stories all striving for the same goal. It really is heartwarming to see.
Makes me emotional how far we have come, and how far we still need to go. Absolutely breaks my heart that people can treat each other in such terrible ways.
@@ellanina801 It's a terrible blight for humanity but one that can heal slowly over time.
@@RandyDrayton too slowly if you ask me, but I am definitely on the side to promote the healing. I am trying to do whatever I can, it just never feels like enough.
@@ellanina801 I definitely feel you. We always need more. Just gotta never stop pushing for it and more will continue to be undone and re-written
This was absolutely marvelous, magnificent, educational, and inspirational. Thank you so much for your work.
Yesssssssss!
What a great lady! I am digging into Black history because it is American history. I look forward to learning more about Ida B Wells. We didn't learn this in school.
I found a collection of her writings at the University of Chicago but I cannot access them without a student ID number. I want to read everything she's ever written.
Some of them can be found online for free
Go be a student then.
This brave woman should be taught about in every school in the U.S.S.A. She was nothing short than spectacular!
This is an excellent documentary of Ms. Wells' life and chock full of details about Black history that aren't frequently highlighted. Thank you very, very, much.
Though Mrs. Wells was not here to receive it. It was good to see she got the recognition she deserved in spite of racism and sexism. And her offspring were able to witness it.
A phenomenal social worker, before “social work” was a thing. I am a social worker. I love her new Barbie.
She was a woman that was for her people...and justice...that's a woman you do everything to protect .....RIP to Ida B Wells...a Tru warrior in the vein of Emmit Till Mother....
This was an eye opening documentary, addressing this baneful, exceedingly harmful disease of racial injustice for way too many centuries in America, "the land of the free". This film gave me an insightful look at the strength, determination to right the wrong, to uplift the down trodden black community in America to their rightful place as citizens, to bring this awareness to the masses, black and white, and she did it relentlessly, with determination, courage, both exercised with boldness and oft times, necessary audacity. She was an angel in the midst of her people, which we, as the American nation should have embraced the black race all along, equal to all who dwell in this 'great' country.
Hello, how are you doing??
A very good and positive stories, that have so much meaning that's going on today, it always takes a strong person that God used to open that door. she will always be with us in our hearts.👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing the life of an amazing woman. Ida B Wells-Barnett was a trailblazer who opened doors and created opportunities for the African American community. She will always be an inspiration to future generations and a reminder of the power and foresight of one determined woman.
thank you for your support . you will not be forgotten.
Such a fantastic documentary. Thank you So much. I will pass it on.
I'm glad this popped up💯 Ida was an amazing woman
What an amazing Woman! Well done Lady.
Color should not matter at all. Character is what should define a person. I have immense respect for Ida Wells and her determination. She was an amazing woman. 🙏🥰
"Color should not matter at all..." smgdh. Okay. Black people arent the people that made color matter, so maybe instead if posting this "all lives matter" bullshit sentiment on a video post about people literally suffering and dying because of their skin color, maybe post it on some video where that sentiment is *actually* relevant.
She's my inspiration. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this.
another stunning bibliography- I loved it- thanks for posting
Such an insightful and inspiring documentary. Our people need to read these types of articles, and realize that we are a strong people.

What an amazing woman. Thank you for this knowledge.
I am a Chicagoan too and my knowledge of Ida B. Wells was just as limited. I knew her name, I knew that housing had been named for her, and that was about it. I am very happy to see the honor bestowed upon her by the naming of the street, Ida B. Wells Drive. (This prominent east/west street had previously been named Congress Parkway.)
I love this. So much I did not know about her although I had read stories about her.
Rest in Peace the Late Great Miss Ida B Wells Barnet, you are an inspiration.
What a shame that people from our own race go against eachother and look down their noses rather than try and defend and uplift eachother.
Would we ever learn, united we stand Divided we fall.
What an awesome and special documentary on
Mrs.Ida B Well-Barnett❤️ God knew her before she was formed in her mother's womb she was positioned at a specific point and time in U.S.A for a while to expose the social ills that exist, she is a credit to her race and the world.
This amazing woman Ida B Wells ❤ I have only just seen about this beautiful strong woman and I am so glad to here about her .. it's so sad that there are still injustice in all the world 🌎 where the poorest people are the forgotten .. I pray for the whole human race to wake up and change 🙏..
Shout to WTTW! This documentary is amazingly enlightening
What a story! Incredible. They need to make a movie about her right now. I'm so excited just watching this 1 hour documentary about her and feeling like anything is possible because she is just truly a force of nature. Such courage,vision and indomitable spirit.
Thanks, watching this has prompted me to read her collected works!
A beautiful blessing to her people. A radical revolutionist standing for the justice of her people..yes a bold social worker. Shamefully, the injustice of Mrs. Wells times continues to persist today.
Awesome documentary !!
Thoroughly enjoyed this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
She was just one of the first to actually say something. We are still fighting for these things today... The way we are viewed and treated in this country has always been fetishized and stereotypical. We are not a monolith...
She was a true saint and used her voice in the best way.
