Abstract

This article explores the work for equality of Ida B. Wells (1862-1931), a prominent African American activist. In a context marked by racist oppression after the abolition of slavery in the United States, Wells becomes a symbol of resistance and justice. The text delves into her key actions, which consisted of challenging segregation, exposing the truth behind lynchings, and claiming her rights as an African American and as a woman. Her activism contributed to the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and her legacy continues to be relevant to understanding the intersection between the persistent fight against discrimination and for gender equality.
