Ida_B._Wells

Ida B. Wells Ida B. Wells is one of the most important African American of all times. Her struggles to put a stop to lynching were very significant. Her strategies for combating lynching were to use reverse psychology on the white newspaper reporters and the white community. In doing so, she often quoted the white man’s statements and opinions and opposed them in her own writings. Voicing her own opinion gave her much respect in the African American community, but most of the white population (race) envied her for it. Though, there were some whites that opposed lynching as well. “Lynching was not simply a spontaneous punishment for crimes but an act of terror perpetrated against a race of people in order to maintain power and control.” This is still relevant in today’s society; discrimination and racial profiling still play a major role in our disoriented communities. Still in present day America people don’t get along, and there are always conflicts and uprisings in our social communities especially in the black communities. “ Don’t forget you must pitch the old black Vs. the young black males, and the young black male against the old black male.
