Ida B. Wells-Barnett ( 1862 – 1931) was an African American woman who was an investigative journalist and a leader of the civil rights movement in America. She displayed the unjust treatment of the blacks and especially the lynching of black people at that racially divided time. She was one of the founders of the NAACP.
