Wells.' PART 1:
Wells, who, born to slavery, became 'a muckraking journalist, a champion of womens rights, a newspaper editor and publisher, and the most prominent foe of the lynching of African Americans in the vicious backlash that followed post-Civil War Reconstruction.' Historian Paula J

About Lynching
Collection of essays, extracts, and photographs of victims.
Although lynching was by no means an isolated, aberrant occurrence in the 1920s when the Klan was resurgent or in the 1930s when the depression fueled the hunt for racial as well as political scapegoats, the phenomenon was no longer virulent enough to claim one victim every two to three days
Tom Burwell, who kills in self-defense, is then immediately burned alive in ritual fashion by a white mob
Black writers from William Wells Brown, whose Clotel (1853) depicts the burning of a black slave, to almost every African American writer of note, from Charles Waddell Chesnutt and Paul Laurence Dunbar at the turn of the century to Robert Hayden and Ralph Ellison at midcentury, to Toni Morrison, Michael S

Wells-Barnett
An African-American teacher and journalist, Wells-Barnett was moved initially by the 1892 Memphis lynching of three black businessmen whose success had outraged their white competitors
Responding with a series of newspaper columns, later expanded into the widely circulated pamphlet Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases (1892), Wells-Barnett documented the innocence of many victims of lynching, especially those charged with rape, while denouncing the failure of leading white southerners to act forcefully against the evil

The Press and Lynchings of African Americans
A scholarly examination of the lynching epidemic of the early 20th century and
how the press reacted to it.
In July, 1930, newspapermen poked around Emelle, Alabama, trying to ferret out details of the lynching of a Black man, as well as several other slayings
During the 1930s, after thousands of African Americans had been put to death by mobs -- particularly in the South but in other regions of the country as well -- lynchings were no longer unusual or shocking events that deviated from the norm
Wells courageously used her Memphis newspaper, The Free Speech, to document and condemn lynchings
After Wells wrote on May 21, 1892 that no one believes 'the old thread-bare lie' that Black men assault White women and went on to criticize southern men on this issue, The Memphis Daily Commercial Appeal called her a 'Black scoundrel, ' White businessmen threatened to lynch the owners of her newspaper, and creditors commandeered the newspaper's offices and sold the equipment
