Ida B. the Queen: The Extraordinary Life and Legacy of Ida B. Wells by Michelle Duster
1.0
Winner of a 2020 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, Ida B. Wells was born enslaved in Holly Springs, Mississippi, in 1862
Overlooked and underestimated, Wells would single-handedly change the course of American history and come to inspire millions. Ida B. the Queen shines a bright light on one of the most extraordinary women in history
Thank you, Goodreads and Atria Books for a chance to read Ida B. the Queen The extraordinary life and legacy of Ida B. Wells!
“I could no longer hold my peace, and I feel, yes, I am sure, that if it had to be done over again {provided no one else was the loser save myself} I would do and say the very same again.
This book was ok. I thought that it would go into a little more depth than it did. The book basically just lists the dates of events that anyone can find on the internet. I was hoping that it would be a little more personal with her granddaughter writing the book. Ida was an amazing woman. She put down a lot of stepping stones for us past and present. Happy reading everyone!
