mellambert 's review for:

Ida B. the Queen: The Extraordinary Life and Legacy of Ida B. Wells by Michelle Duster

5.0

As a lover of graphic novels, and "books that look like they should be children's book but are for adults," this is my kind of book. Broken up with art, and stories of other Black activists, this short and amazing biography is a must read. Ida's story is interwoven with the stories of other activists from then, and now, truly tying together how we owe so much to those that came before us. I can't recommend this biography enough.
