Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.
Heroine, Agitator, Crusader: these are but a few names used to describe journalist and activist Ida B. Wells (1862-1931). Through extensive data collection and critical analysis, searing exposés against injustice and damning speeches, Wells and her contemporaries challenged the U.S. government to actualize the ideas of justice, citizenship, and human rights. In this course, learning from the example set by Wells, we will contextualize her groundbreaking contributions within the broader historical framework of her era. Students will compose essays that capture the essence of Wells's life and legacy.
