Abstract
In her time, she was called the Black Joan of Arc, a crusader, a modern day Deborah. By the potency of her written word and vitality of her oratory, Ida B. Wells-Barnett brought the reality of racial violence in America to the attention of the nation and the world. It would be inaccurate, however, to simply call Ida B. Wells an anti-lynching crusader. She was much more. A fairer description would be that Ida B. Wells was an African-American woman who fought with strength and passion for the educational, economic and moral uplift of her race.
