Before Rosa Parks, there was Ida B. Wells. And then some. A political activist beginning in the late1800s, Ida B. Wells grabbed my attention when I first heard the story about the time she received a knock at the door by two intelligence officers. They threatened to arrest her for treason if she didn’t stop her brand of political activism, referring to her making commemorative buttons for the martyred twenty-fourth United States Infantrymen, Third Battalion in Houston, Texas. In her fifties, she stated she’d rather go down in “history as one lone Negro who dared tell the government it had done a dastardly thing” (charging the soldiers with mutiny after a race riot and ordering many of their executions), “than save her own life by being quiet.” She added it would be an “honor” to be incarcerated under those circumstances. The year the intelligence officers knocked at her door was 1918 and Congress had passed the Sedition Act. It was a draconian amendment to the Espionage Act of 1917 which carried a $10,000 fine and a prison term up to twenty-six years for anyone found meddling with the conduct of the business of World War I. Paula Giddings’ book, “Ida: A Sword Among Lions,” focuses on Wells’ campaign against lynching. The author’s book thoroughly covers Ida’s life but gives little background of blacks and the status of civil rights that preceded the late 1800s and were established before the “separate but equal” doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson which upheld segregation. The Thirteenth Amendment prohibited slavery in the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment provided equal protection of laws. No state could deprive citizens of their rights under the Constitution. The Fifteenth Amendment (1870) established the right of citizens to vote. The First Civil Rights Act extended citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., giving African Americans full equality before the law. The Civil Rights Act of 1872 made it a federal crime to deprive an individual of his constitutional rights. The Second Civil Rights Act in 1875 entitled everyone to equal enjoyment of cultural rights. However, in 1883 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment was limited to correcting official acts by states, meaning that private citizens could practice discrimination without interference from the national government. This change in the law and the murder of her friend, Thomas Moss, with whom she had taught Sunday School in Memphis, Tennessee, directly affected Ida B. Wells. In 1883, Wells was forced to leave the first-class ladies’ car on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway though she had paid for a first-class ticket. Wells was twenty-two years old at the time. She sued the Railway and won only to lose in the Tennessee Court of Appeals because the laws themselves had changed. The case was used to bolster the ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Wells’ friend, Moss, in his dying breath implored, “Tell my people to go West; there is no justice for them here.” The murder propelled Wells, who had now evolved from a teacher to a journalist, into a life of activism. She knew Frederick Douglass who was more of a father figure to her. His death may have been a catalyst for her marriage to Ferdinand Barnett, a Chicago lawyer, graduate of a law school which became part of the University of Chicago. Ida B. Wells endangered herself throughout her life with her unwavering, militant views on racism. Her life’s work highlighted the erosion of race relations after 1883. She is regarded as one of the foremothers of sociology and even in that role she faulted the sociologists from the University of Chicago for their empirical bias against black women. Marginalized by the NAACP because of her ideology, Wells-Barnett, as she wished to use as her surname, with her journalistic movement and anti-lynching campaign gained the organization its legitimacy when they adopted her ideas and progressive agenda. In this thoughtful biography of Wells-Barnett by Giddings, the activist’s legacy continues to live.

Ida B. Wells' is lifted from historical obscurity by Paula Giddings through this historically detailed composition. I came gain a much deeper insight and appreciation for her crusade against white mob lynching of black people at the turn 20th century. You will know Wells Barnett's outrage, fear, bravery, tension and dogged determination as she tirlessly fought both black and white political opposition permeating this shameful American era for which African Americans endured through her journalism. Prof. Giddings shows Mrs. Wells Barnett's courage through this rendering. You also gain great insight into the proliferation and impact local black sufferage clubs had during this dark time in history. This should be a must read in high schools and colleges.

Paula Giddings shrinks time and personalizes [makes vivid] the reality of fighting racism in America. This book should be on every high school English or History reading list because history comes alive in it. It's easy to think she lived in another era (she was born in the mid 1800s), but her daughter, Alfreda, died in 1983. Think about that. Ida B Wells was born in the middle of the civil war and her daughter died when Reagan was President. Giddings is an excellent story-teller. And Wells deserves a biographer of this class. Buy this book.

I have been wanting to learn more about Ida B Wells for a long while, and finally read this book. It's especially interesting to see the historical context and the activist writings/work by Ida and others - and how much it resonates with issues and perspectives today. Author does a good job of discussing the context of what Ida did and thought, and relating her sources (this came from Ida's writings, this came from a different source) -- this gives a fuller picture of what Ida may have been thinking (i.e., it's interesting to hear that certain big events were not discussed directly by Ida in her journal). Author does a good job of relaying relevant information and fitting it togther. Sometimes it's a bit dense, but it's history and so this is not surprising. I'm enjoying this book, even if I need to read it in fixed doses.

I am currently reading the book and it is good. Very informative about Ida's life and African American life during this time. I recommend the book. The only negative is that he footnotes are not hyperlinked. Very annoying that I cannot read the footnotes in context to the chapter I am reading. This should be corrected.

Well researched. I'm still reading and learning so much about this hero, Ida B. Wells. Enjoying it. Would highly recommend.

Giddings' biography presents the life of a woman whose courage and intelligence transcends the time in which she lived. Wells story resonates with the troublesome duality of being black and intelligent during a time that most of society saw African Americans as less-than-human. Moreover, Giddings' research builds step-by-step to grow an illustration of Wells resplendent in its examples of unintended consequences. Each violent action by the racists unintentionally shines light on Wells poetic writings that casts each action in its stony hatred for all humanity not only black humanity. Consequently, Giddings' prose flows through each active time of Wells' career as a journalist and writer of civil rights chapbooks almost as though she were channeling Wells herself since Wells story builds from one hair-raising escape from one bigoted southern town to the next. Pick it up.

Ida Wells has been a hero of mine since childhood. This book, though rather long, is well worth reading. It's as engrossing and page turning as any mystery. It provides compelling insight into the character of the times as well as Ida B. Wells herself.
