Ep. 56 - Ida B. Writin'

It's the second act in our two-part series on Ida B. Wells. This week, host Lauren tells us how Ida took her rage and bravery, and turned it into written action! We explore the pamphlets Ida published and how she became the #1 Truth-Teller of the 20th Century. We also wanted to shine a light on one of the organizations that we mentioned in our podcast - The Dock Ellis Foundation The Dock Ellis Foundation - https://www.dockellisfoundation.com ​Dock Ellis Foundation provides underprivileged families and victims with the support and guidance they need to bring their missing loved one's home.
