b) Anti-lynching and civil rights

Ida B. Wells, a prominent figure in the Gilded Age, is best known for her activism in anti-lynching and civil rights. As a journalist and civil rights leader, Wells courageously documented and exposed the horrors of lynching in the United States. Her tireless efforts to fight racial violence and champion civil rights brought national attention to these issues, making her one of the most influential African American women of her time. Wells’ advocacy laid the groundwork for the civil rights movement of the 20th century.
